The 45th Dublin, Mount Argus Scout Group is a registered member of Scouting Ireland. Scouting Ireland is the National Scout Association and a member of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement. Scouting Ireland was formed on 1st January 2004 from the two original Scout associations in Ireland, Scouting Ireland S.A.I. and Scouting Ireland (C.S.I.). Scouting Ireland is a voluntary, uniformed, non-formal educational movement for young people. It is independent, non-political, open to all without distinction of origin, race, creed or gender, in accordance with the purpose, principles and method conceived by the Founder, Robert Baden-Powell and as stated by the World Organisation of the Scout Movement. The aim of Scouting Ireland is to encourage the physical, intellectual, character, emotional, social, and spiritual development of young people so that they may achieve their full potential and, as responsible citizens, to improve society. Scouting Ireland achieves its aim through a system of progressive self-education, known as the Scout Method, the principal elements of which are: • Voluntary membership of a group which, guided by adults, is increasingly self-governing in its successive age groups. • Commitment to a code of living as expressed in the Promise & Law, the meaning of which is expanded as the member grows towards maturity. • The provision of a wide range of attractive, constructive and challenging activities, including opportunities for adventure and exploration both indoors and outdoors. • The provision of opportunities for leadership and responsibility. • Learning by doing. • Encouragement of activity in small groups. • An award scheme, which encourages participation in its full range of activities and provides recognition of individual and group achievements. • Symbolic Framework.
