Ireland called, and our Rovers answered! 🇮🇪⛵️
A few weeks ago, 3 of our Rovers teamed up with fellow scouts from Mosta, Sliema, Rabat, and Qormi for an unforgettable 5-day Erasmus+ Youth Exchange Sailing Training Program along Ireland's stunning coast ⚓🌊
From learning the ropes at sea to making lifelong memories, here is a glimpse of what they got up to:
🌊 Life at Sea: Cruised south from Cork, learning the ins and outs of sailing
🏖️ Secret Spot BBQ: Dropped anchor at a hidden beach for a cookout
🏊 Island Exploration: Discovered an old island and took a dive into Irish waters
🏰 History Hunt: Explored ancient castle ruins and historical graveyards
🥾 Back on Land: Ended the voyage with a scenic hike through the cliffs of Howth
Check out the amazing photos from their epic journeyk
