2nd Offaly PAL Leaders link in with Local School for Gaisce.

2 PAL leaders of the 2nd Offaly Scout Unit have linked in with Ard Scoil Chiarain Noafa to assist 18 students from 5th year to complete their Adventure Journey.  The journey began with the students in conjunction with the leaders planning the route which was split over 2 days covering a distance over 25k.  The students met at the scout den on Saturday morning of the 28th of April to board a bus which took them to the starting point.  The route for day 1 was to hike along the grand canal from Pullough to Tullamore.  A number of teams games, a movie and a night hike with some star gazing before heading off to sleep under canvas (for the first time for the majority).  The second morning began with cooking breakfast, cleaning up and heading off from the den out the Clara road to the Mass Rock continuing on to the board walk and back by the wooded area (lots of tree felling at present).  All 18 students have now completed their Bronze Gaisce Award which they will receive in October at a special Cermony, well done to all involved.
