Welcome to the 17th Wicklow
A scout group in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains
We're a volunteer-led group serving Roundwood, Annamoe and the surrounding area. Every week our young people learn by doing – lighting fires, pitching tents, reading maps, cooking outdoors and working together in small teams.
With Lough Dan, Glendalough and the Vartry on our doorstep, there are few better places in Ireland to be a scout. Our group was founded in 2020, but scouting in Wicklow goes back more than a century. Read our history.

Our sections
Three sections, one big adventure
Each section is designed for its age group, so young people grow in confidence and independence as they move up. All sections meet on Fridays during school terms, with the odd weekend hike or day activity instead.
What we get up to
Learning by doing, all year round
Camping
Pitching tents, cooking on stoves and fires, and nights under the stars.
Hillwalking
Map reading, navigation and exploring the trails of the Wicklow Mountains.
On the water
Kayaking, canoeing and water safety on lakes close to home.
Community
Helping out locally, from clean-ups to parades and village events.
