Muff 9th Donegal Scout Group win Errigal Cup competition

The Errigal Cup competition was held in Lenamore, Muff at the weekend and included scouts from all over the Errigal County which includes scouting groups from counties Donegal, Derry and Tyrone. Scouts from Inishowen have won an annual competition for scout troops in the north west.

The groups must set up and organise their camps and are judged on this and a wide range of scouting skills throughout the weekend competition.

Muff 9th Donegal Scouts were the outstanding winners and their 'Eagles' team managed to win the Errigal Cup for the club again this year. Runners up were the 'Wolves' who are also from Muff Scouts. Both teams will now represent the Errigal County in the all Ireland finals. The competition, known as the 'Phoenix Challenge', will take place in the Curragh this August.

An outstanding performance was also given by Muff 'Dragons' who won first place in the novice section. These are the youngest members of the Muff scout group and they managed to secure the Errigal Shield on this, their first major scouting competition.

Hazel Brown paid tribute to the teams for their hard work and dedication, and was pleased for everyone to win this year as scouts throughout the world celebrate the Centenary Year of Scouting.
