Group – Good Luck!
Good Luck to all our young people as they start the next step in their educational journey!
A new school year may mean a new teacher, a new classroom, some new friends and some old friends. For some of you, it may be a new school, with a new uniform (that you will grow into) plus the challenges of a bus journey/train journey/walk to school!
The Leaders and Management Team at 9th Bangor (St Gall’s) Scout Group wish you well as you start back to school after such a long hiatus!
Group – Adult Volunteers – Required
Are you interested in helping out at 9th Bangor (St Gall’s) Scout Group or Squirrel Drey?
Do you have a few hours free each week to help out running a section, help with future fundraising events, be part of the Management Team or have a skill you can teach a young person for an activity badge?
As we plan our re-start after our current hiatus, we want to continue to be able to offer our young people an exciting, challenging, fun and varied programme – we want and need your help to provide it!
Get in touch – all/any help is appreciated, so don’t think about it and just say Yes!

Group – Pancake Tuesday!
Happy Shove Tuesday or International Pancake Day!
Remember you can have a mix of savoury, sweet and plain pancakes – hope you made enough batter!
Enjoy!
Group – Annual Census
Today is a special day for all Group Scout Leaders in every Group across NI – we get to count all of our Young People, Leaders, Parent Helpers and members of the Management Team!
Not the easiest thing to do in the Virtual World so I need you all to stand still, in a straight line with tallest to the right shortest to the left – ok ready, one, two, three,….
Even with our weekly meetings on hold, the Leaders are busy with virtual programmes and activities to do remotely plus we still have paperwork to complete and bills to pay!
Keep you eyes on our social media pages and your emails!
Group – Holocaust Memorial Day!
Today (27 January 2023) on #HolocaustMemorialDay, we remember all those who died during the Holocaust and other genocides. As Scouts, we stand against prejudice and hatred in the UK and around the world.
Group – Personal Safety
If you’re looking for an activity for your artist/model badge, Dublin Fire Brigade have provided some activity PDFs for making paper models of their Fire Engines and Ambulances
Dublin Fire Brigade is unusual for the UK & Ireland as its both a Fire Service and Ambulance Service, very much like American Fire Services. Your interesting fact of the day Ha
Happy Christmas!
Well the big night is finally here!
All through the house the Squirrels / Beavers / Cubs / Scouts were in bed, eyes tightly shut waiting for a special visitor – we know that all the young people from 9th Bangor (St Gall’s) Scout Group should be on the ‘nice’ list.
We hope you have wonderful Christmas with your family – it will be different but it will also feel familiar!
We hope you get all the things that were on your list and many other surprises that you had not even thought of!
Be safe and enjoy the day!
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
All the Leaders and Management Team, wish all our young people a Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year Celebration!
It has been strange year for 9th Bangor (St Gall’s) Scout Group as we moved from weekly meetings to the ‘Virtual’ world!
With more uncertainty coming in the next few weeks we will be in touch with what we know and what is being planned!
Be safe and enjoy your time together over the Christmas Period!
It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Group – For the Fallen
For the Fallen (by Laurence Binyon)
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England’s foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.
