Activities

 Our
most recent activity was on Sunday 14th October when we went to
Killarney to walk from Galways Bridge to Torc Waterfall through the
National Park.
Nine members of the patrol turned out
on the day and a number of members sent their apologies.
Despite the bad weather in Cork, the day turned out fine and a great
time was had by all. The bus driver was heard to mention that
kids were quieter on the bus though !! A fuller account with
more pictures is available - click on link below.

What
Neckerchief ?
|
| As members of the patrol
are drawn from both the 38th and 40th Units (now mergered) it was
decided that the Falcon patrol neckerchief would be a compromise,
taking one colour from each.
|
|
|
|
| The neckerchief is Sky
Blue with a Tangerine Border. This is the colour of the
venturer neckerchief. It has the words "Falcon
Patrol" written on the back of the neckerchief.
In order to wear the neckerchief,
members must have attended three outdoor activities. The
neckerchief is then presented on the third activity.
