Irish Sea Scouting began in 1912. The first Sea Scout Commissioner was living in my home town of Malahide, North County Dublin. His name was Lieut. Henry J. Rundle, RN. He was an officer in the Royal Navy and was attached to the Coastguard Station, Malahide. I have attached a photograph of what Irish Sea Scouts looked like in 1914. This is the 2nd Port of Dublin, Clontarf. Proud winners of the Wood Latimer trophy. The trophy is for rowing and today this same trophy is still presented to the winning team.
