St Patricks Jordanstown Scouts

Just a heads up to remind folks that Friday 10th June sees the Annual 1st Jordanstown Scout Troop Family Fun Night (phew that was a mouthful) outside the Church Halls in St Patricks Church Jordanstown. Head on down for the usual frivolities and frolics, burgers, hot dogs and activities.

See Jordanstown’s very own “Little and Large” on the Bar B Q plus all your favourite Scout, Cub and Beaver Leaders on hand to explain more about the year just gone and what exciting events lie in store when we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of Scouting in Jordanstown, next year.

Go on you know you want to……

Be there or…………………….be elsewhere I guess
