Jamóige Media Launch

  Sunday 15th January saw the launch of the Jamóige event to the Media. The launch took place in the Council Chamber of Fingal County Council. Fingal County Council will be partners with Scouting Ireland in this project and the venue is Ardgillian Castle Demense.

 The launch started with some entertainment for the Beaver Scouts and Cub Scouts who were in attendance from the various groups situated in Fingal Scout County. The entertainment included Gulliver himself and his cuddly friend along with a balloon artist. The theme of this year's Jamóige is Gulliver's travels so it was appropriate that Gulliver was on hand to launch the event.

The launch was introduced by the Camp Chief David Kessie and speeches were given by both the Mayor of Fingal  and the Chief Scout of Scouting Ireland Michael John Shinnick.Both men mentioned how the cooperation  all started  when a delegation from Fingal County Council visited the World Scout Jamboree in Sweden earlier in the Summer.

Also in attendance were County Commissioner of Fingal Scout County David Smith along with the Programme Commissioner(Beaver Scouts) Stephen Halpin, and Programme Commissioner (Cub Scouts) Annette Byrne

.After the speeches pictures were taken for the local Media of the event and the Jamoige team headed off to the Site to start preparations for this Summers event. More pictures of the event will be available shortly at the Scouting Ireland Photo Gallery.
