The team have been preparing for this event for the past 12 months and have been meeting monthly since January of this year.


Larchill is our National HQ and Campsites on the foot hills of the Dublin Mountains overlooking Dublin City and Bay. An absolute beauty spot for keen hikers.

Part of the programme will be a day trip away from the site to Dublin City. We are calling this 'Dublin Day' . The day programme will take us through from Medieval Dublin to Modern Day Dublin by experiencing the history and culture of the city through our national sport(Gaelic football & Hurling), trip on Dublin City Tram,visit the oldest pub in Ireland etc.

The evening will conclude with a sailing experience from Dunlaoghaire Harbour.

Eurosea 9 Seminar Blog

Welcome aboard! All Eurosea participants are invited to post to the Eurosea 9 Seminar blog. This forum will allow participants to record their thoughts about presentations and ideas that come up before, during, and after the May 2008 event. This will provide everyone with an opportunity to propose ideas, react to them, and act on them. It will also allow the tens of thousands of Sea Scouts and Sea Scout leaders in Europe to virtually journey to Ireland and join in the discussion.

All Eurosea participants have posting priviledges. Just sign in and you're ready to go. If you are a late registrant for the event, or you would like to be able to post and are not a Eurosea participant, please contact the European Sea Scouting webmaster, Bruce Johnson, at commodore@seascout.org to be added to the 'authorized to post' list. Questions about this blog should be directed to Bruce.
