18 Beavers from 2nd Monaghan attended Halloween ‘Trick or Treat’ day in Dún na Rí Forest Park hosted by 6th Cavan Kingscourt on Saturday, 29th October 2011. After the severe floods and wet weather earlier in the week, we all waited with bated breath that the weather would turn out ok for this outdoor activity day. Guess what? The sun shone for us all day! We left the Den dressed in out scariest Halloween costumes and very excited to begin our adventure. We picked up some scary beavers from 5th Monaghan, Castleblayney on our way to the forest. We had 12 bases to get around (approx 15/20 min per base) which were; Ghostly crafts,Eyeball and spoon race, Piñatas trick or treat, Rope climbing, Hoops and broomsticks, Pumpkin carving, Apples on a string, Hot chocolate and tricks, Halloween story’s with body parts, Bingo with treats, decorating and eating. The day was great, we had plenty to do, buckets of fun, lots of tricks and loads of treats. The day was attended by 8 beavers colonies from the Cavan /Monaghan County so there were heaps of beavers, all in fancy dress costumes walking around the forest. We got around all the bases and were glad to get sitting down after the closing ceremony, on the bus journey you could have heard a pin drop! -they were all wrecked but everyone all had a fantastic day out. Congrats, well done and thanks to 6th Cavan

The Cubs were invited to the Ardaghy community centre for a night of bowls.
On the 24th October the Cubs made their way to Ardaghy on a very wet night. 24 cubs attended. The Ardaghy Bowls group were excellent at showing the cubs how to play the game. The cubs enjoyed the game and some great shots were taken with direct hits on the jack.
We used the excellent facility of Ardaghy Community centre for the cubs Holloween party with plenty drinks and treats.
Many thanks to the Ardaghy Bowls group for the invitation

The Cub pack attended the Orienteering event at Dartry Forest on Sunday 13th November 2011.
It was a great turn out with 24 cubs attending. A great day was had by all. The bus took the cubs from the Den at 10am and returned to the Den at 2pm. Weather was fantastic, the trial was ideal with the 13 clues neatly hidden to test the cubs map reading skills. Plenty of mud to enjoy along the route. The hot dogs, treats and drinks were well earned.
Thanks to Ballybay goup for organising the event.

Over the last week of August, twenty teams of Venture Scouts from all over Ireland, including three ventures from 2nd Monaghan Scout Group took up the Venture Scout Challenge2011, which took place this year in the west of Ireland.
Each team of two Venture Scouts had to carry all their camping gear, cooking equipment, clothes and provisions and complete the task of walking 100km over five days.
Each two person team were dropped at separate undisclosed locations with a limited budget of €50 between them, to survive on for the five days and nights on the road.
The teams had to plan their own route to ensure that they covered the distance each day and complete a number of prescribed challenges designed to enable them experience “real Ireland”. Each participant also had two “personal” challenges to complete on the expedition.
The teams also had to seek accommodation from the locals en route each night, 2nd Monaghan Ventures are much appreciative of the hospitality they received from the people they encountered in Galway, Limerick and Clare during the course of their challenge. Although the weather was not very favourable for them (it rained continually three out of the five days).
Our three ventures successfully completed all their set challenges and covered the distance of 100km and a few extra km, just to be sure! Only fourteen teams out of the twenty starting completed challenge 2011 this year. They were awarded the highly sought after Scouting Ireland Challenge Woggle, certificate and badge presented to them by expedition leader Pat Keegan. Congratulations and well done to Kevin Murray, Eric Brennan, James McCarron.
