...We were on the fia in the paps and I got shaved. It was the first time I was shaved. What a laugh! There must have been 20 people around me. Tom Griffen and flower power were shaving me. I tell ya my face was as smooth as a babies bum. We had a great shaving foam fight afterwards. Talking about shaving somebody, remember we shaved a part of burkeys leg in the pitch dark in fota? |

...I capsized the cadet one time in November (COLD!). Tony Murphy was in a bigger boat (not the BP? maybe the BP), and I traumatised Breffni Allen before we managed to get ashore. Hope he's not put off sailing for life! The collection of implements we had to bail with was pathetic - someones shoe mostly - a good education in why being well equipped is important. There was another time we were practicing our "nice rowing", Micky Murphy was cox, and we met some Navy guys .... who we managed to beat in a race. This would be a much more heroic (and safer) kind of story. |

...We castrated dobs on the fence out in fota. There was about 20 people hanging off his legs and he was screaming in agony..Then he went into the toilets for about an hour trying to put his balls back in place. (Leader's note: Obviously DOBs didn't find it funny and this type of behaviour is now discouraged!! LOL!!) |

...We were having a night 'manhunt' in Fota on one October Camp and it was the juniors chasing the seniors. Brendan was one of the few SPLs remaining at large, when Donnchadh chased him through the woods towards the top of the quarry. Donnchadh figured he had him cornered and followed him to the edge, at which point, Brendan continued to run... ...over the edge - A drop of about 10feet. Donnchadh shone his torch down the quarry expecting to see Brendan Dead, injured, or at least dazed. Instead he saw Brendan's murky figure running on deeper into the woods. Upon return to the cottage, Brendan admitted to being 'slightly hurt' by the landing in the bramble bushes, but didn't feel it at the time! |

I dont know if you remember but when James Coleman was talking about traumatising Breffni Allen, it reminded me of when he took the cadet out by himself. Oh, we got assurances that he was a brilliant sailor but it didnt start off that way. Standing up at the top of the slip with Bob, Tony, Mickey and Olan we watched in amazement as Breffni pushed the cadet out without the plug in. Of course Bob and the lads let rip. Me being very junior just looked on in awe as Breffni fumbled around with the plug to get it in. In the end he did, but that wasnt the end of the fun. He got I'd say 5 meters when he started to gybe the cadet continuously. He did it at least 10 times. Bob was getting very irate, so funnily enough he come back in, and was layed upon. We never did see him very much after that. I wonder what did become of him?? |

...one summer about 3-4 years ago we were sailing along, about 3 in the evening back to the scout hall from white bay. It was a lovely day, and we were all relaxing. We were on the b.p. : myself, Pajo, Ponz, Brenzy and Spud. We were on a run so we were all aft. Brenzy decided to go forward because he needed to relieve himself. There was no danger of back splash as the wind was behind us. As he was finishing up we all saw that glint in Ponz's eyes when he was going to do something funny. He picked up one of our bailer sponges and soaked it in water, and with precise aim fired it at Brenzy. Now Brenzy was at this time very unstable up on the bow and the shock of being hit with the sponge over balanced him and over the bow he went all we could see was his sleeve caught on the fair lead and then it was gone and down floats Brenzy along the side... |

...Brendan, the big gobshite ran off the quarry ...Barry Sull ran naked through foxes cover ...Mullens and some handsome devil burnt the hairs off Cillian Casey's legs ...Kett wanted to put a carrot in his head Why does Mullens keep popping into my head for stupid things ? I'm going to bitch about Mullens for an hour! Let me tell you about last weekend... ...It was roughly 8.00 on sunday morning. I was in a deep sleep on the couch. Stephen was asleep next to me on the floor. Then suddenly a princess named Aisling (???) broke down the door with all her manly power. She frightened the living sh*t out of me! She then proceeded to wake the scouts and then one of them came into the room and complained about the smell of mullens. The story being... ...Mullens smells!! I must rush now; my lecturer is approaching. I shall keep these reports up every wednesday morning between 9 and 11. ...'Till tomorrow night my good man, and who ever else may be listening ! |

...Brendan was on pain killers because Ollie jumped on his back ...Paki cracked his head off the back of the quarry ...Kim the rat fell off the yaucht, is that how you spell yaucht?? I think I'm dislonsic ...Barry Sull fell off the back of the romer ...Daly cracked three ribs of the YAUCHT with his impecable control (Did I mention that he hopped off a starboard buoy while there was a troop from Carlow with us ? I wonder why we never heard from them again?) ...Anita fell off the ladder in dirty murph's and into the s**t infested water ...Cian kicked his tent and Peter had his nose pressed against the inside and he broke it (his nose, not the tent!) ...MICHEAL MURPHY, a master mariner, capsized the bp ...Amanda crashed two, yes two, go-karts in succession in Fermanagh. I'd love to see her doing her driving test! ...Paki and Hazy went out in the sunburst and had to be towed to shore or that famous incident involving a searider. How I'd love to see that again! I'll finish at that, but one thing Daly: I was reading the geustbook and who ever called you "sexy al" is damn right! HANDSOME THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE! (Editor's note: Thanx KOBBY! Ur not bad urself!! LOL) |

...The day the two babies (Tadhg & Karl) went swimming in the drain. It was the 12th December 1999, and the usual Sunday hike was returning from Fota when we were passing through Belvelly by Aherns Farm. Tadhg pushed Karl in a 4 foot drainage ditch and then Tadhg jumped in himself with a little persuasion. HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!. |

Reading through the above entries I am beginning to remember alot of my scouting days, From the ongoing fights between skell and losty the most notable one was on the yacht when they were alone,The inside of the yacht was covered in blood and they still did not know what they were fighting about nor did the rest of us, I remember the time myself and pa moore took the cadet out to sail in the regatta race when we capsized and went turtle down by the no.18 buoy. The rudder was made of some sort of steel , so the rudder and tiller sank straight to the bottom, I remember well a Thursday night when skell took out the rankin with a group of beginners for their first trip. Skell was, as usual trying to be a cool dude, and as cool as you could be, he pushed out the boat without a life jacket to realise there was no plug in the boat and the water was pissing in while the beginners were shi**ing them selves. Keep up the good work no doubt I will remember more and will post new stuff soon |

...We were on a bivvy in Marlogue about two years ago and most of the scouts were down on the beach sitting down, relaxing, ******* * ****** ** ******, when all of a sudden a hand came out from the deep and touched one of them on the shoulder. It was like watching a herd of cows running. They all ran back to the campsite terrified of the physco that was running around the woods. I think there was a little night hike organised, and there was no way any of them would leave the campsite. My nickname is spelt koby so get it right next time dally. I heard mullens is going to mountain lodge. I hope he brings deodrant and earplugs for everybody for when he goes into entertainment mode!! |

...Brenzy, Dorgan and myself (Skel) gave Mickey the typewriter in Fota. When we were droping the flag at the end of the camp, we were told to fall out. When we looked back we noticed that something was wrong, but we were unsure what was happening. Everybody started to look at us and we knew we were in trouble... We started to run and the rest of the troop began to chase. We were crapping ourselves, I never ran so fast in my life. The whole troop followed us. Brendan keep following us the big Dope. But in the end we of course escaped the Jocking we were supposed to get. We could never get caught, even when they knew it was us. Daly say hello to monkey mullins!!!!!!!!!! |

...We were all playing "manhunt" in the woods one October. Then Jason Losty came out of the woods in serious pain because the ******** fell into a hole and managed to break his leg. These weren't the only STUPID things he did. There is many more and I will remember them! |

...Peter Cambridge was young and they were out camping in Fota. They were doing some trek thingy when two other members ran to find them to tell them that two convicts had escaped from prison and crashed into the Fota wall and were on the loose and they were to head back to camp now. Of course all the young fellas went stealthily along with their knives out and when two large figures came out of the bush and shouted they all ran screaming like girls through the woods. Of course there was no convicts, unless you consider their fellow members of scouts playing a trick on them. Hee Hee. |
