The De La Salle Scout Group has a rich history of hill walking, hiking and adventuring!

There’s never a time in the year without a group or an individual from the Group heading off somewhere for a few days. It might be an MPC in the Galtees, a week-long winter climbing trip to Scotland, a jamboree, or even a trekking expedition to Nepal. If they took along a camera and penned a few lines, then we’ll report it here! A variety of expedition reports can be accessed from this page – we hope you enjoy them and comments are always welcome!

Don’t Panic! Trekking in Nepal & India

Small bears with big brown floppy hats! This thought crossed my mind as I walked down the street. I looked around but there was not one bear to be seen. It was 5.30am which I fancied was to early even for bears.
