Welcome to the blog of the 3rd Waterford De La Salle Scout Troop for 2010. The troop was founded way back in 1928 which makes us 82 years old this year and we have seen many scouts and leaders over that time. Today, Paschal Guilfoyle is the Scoutleader and Ian Sinnott, David Collins, Colm Ennis, Emily Ennis, Jim Doherty, Kate Hayes and John Kinsella are the Assistant Scoutleaders. The troop has a core of about thirty four scouts which are divided up into five patrols. The patrols are the Peregrine (PL: David Fan), Hawk (PL: Bill Carton), Yellowhammer (PL: Ruairi O'hOgartiagh), Blackcap (PL: Colm Mythen) and Goldfinch (PL: Ciaran Nugent).
