About 29th Dublin Scouts
We are an Irish Scout Troop in Blackrock, Co. Dublin. We have our own den and our own grounds just by the sea. We offer weekend activities and weekly meetings to young people between the ages of 5 and 22. We have a long history in the community of Blackrock. Between our different age groups we teach Scouting skills such as pioneering, hiking, rock climbing, backwoods survival training, sailing, canoeing, first aid and other really useful skills.
Our Den is available to be rented out by scouting and non-scouting groups alike. Our den just recently re-developed has central heating, a large meeting hall kitchen and toilets. We have a large football field between the den and the sea. Our site is located 5 minutes walk from Blackrock village, 1 minute walk from the DART (Dublin City Train) station at Seapoint and a 5 minute drive from Dun Laoghaire Ferry Port. If you are interested in Booking our den look at our Den Information page.
We are always welcoming new people to 29th Dublin Scouts. If you are interested in joining o...
