Origins
In 1908, Scouting was brought from England and spread across Ireland.

The coming of the Great War in 1914 could have brought about the collapse of Scouting, but the training provided through the patrol system proved its worth. Patrol leaders took over when adult leaders volunteered for active military duty. Scouts contributed to the war effort in many ways; most notably was the Sea Scouts, who took the place of regular coast guardsmen, thus freeing them from service afloat. Ypres, 1917, in the vicinity of the Battle of Passchendaele. ...
In Dublin, two priests, Frs. Tom and Ernest Farrell followed the progress of Scouting. They noted that in other countries, the Catholic Church had taken up the idea of Scouting. After much study and experimentation, they made a proposal to the bishops of Ireland and were granted a constitution and episcopal patronage in November 1926. Thus, the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland was created. It went on to become the largest Scout association on the island. WGS-84 (GPS) Coordinates: 53. ...
The name Catholic Church can mean a visible organization that refers to itself as Catholic, or the invisible Christian Church, viz. ...
When war came again in 1939, Scouts carried on under the direction of their patrol leaders. They undertook many national service tasks: messengers, fire watchers, stretcher bearers, salvage collectors and so on. Their success was directly attributed to their good organization and training.
In 1965, CBSI joined with the Scout Association of Ireland to form the Federation of Irish Scout Associations, FISA. Through FISA Irish Scouts were able to play a full part in international Scouting as the World Organisation of the Scout Movement only recognises one Scouting body in each country.
The Association Scouting Ireland was formed on January 1, 2004 from the two original Scout associations in Ireland, Scouting Ireland S.A.I. and Scouting Ireland (CSI). Both associations voted to join together to form a new single association in 2003, following a decision to set this process in motion in 1998. ,[1] January 1 is the first day of the calendar year in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars. ...

Sections Currently the Association operates in four sections (note that the age ranges givenare approximate): - Beaver Scouts (6-8), a fun-based introduction to parts of the Scout method;
- Macaoimh or Cub Scouts (8-11), notable by the uniquely Irish symbolic framework it uses;
- Scouts (11-15), the next step, which continues to challenge young teenagers in the tradition of Baden-Powell;
- Venture Scouts (16-21), the final step in Irish Scouting; and
- Sea Scouts (11-17), a section for teenagers which delivers the Scout method with a large emphasis on water activities.

Renewed Approach to Programme Scouting Ireland is currently developing a new programme using WOSM's Renewed Approach to Programme methodology. It was felt after the formation of Scouting Ireland that a redesigned programme would add coherency to the implementation of Youth Programme in the 21st Century. The Programme Development Team meet regularly to assess how the needs and aspirations of young people have changed over time and how best to design activities that remain challenging for Scouting Ireland's youth members. Scouting Ireland inherited two separate programmes from its legacy associations, thus prompting the need to create a single method. The 21st century is the present century of the Gregorian calendar. ...
The stated aim of the RAP process is to meet the needs of young people, parents, Scouters and communities through the provision of:
For young people - Attractive & imaginative programme
- Application of the Scout Method
- Effective Youth Involvement
- Effective transitions between Sections
- Balance of numbers between Sections
For adults - Practicality
- Support via resource material
- Consistency
Through this process it is hoped to build a bridge between the aspirations of young people and the expectations and challenges of society.
Youth Participation Annually the National Scout Forum and the National Venture Scout Forum meet. These fora debate motions relating to the running of the association. Membership of the fora represent each Scout County in Ireland and are elected at Regional fora by their peers. Successful motions are carried forward to the relevant national bodies. Each forum elects 9 representatives who then represent the interests of youth members on various committees throughout their term of office (one year). 3 Scouters under the age of 26 are eligible to sit on the National Management Committee.
