If there are sisters in either Cygnets, Brigins or Guides then there is a reduction of €27.50 per child. There is no reduction in the fees for joining during the year. This fee includes a portion for administration costs and group insurance, unfortunately if your child is not insured we cannot allow her to join the group as we cannot assume such a personal risk.

New members are eligible to be enrolled after they attend the Brigin meetings for 3 months. So there is no rush to run out and buy brigin uniforms. Uniforms can be purchased from The Scout Shop located upstairs in the Outdoor Centre AT 34/35 Upper Liffey Street, Dublin 1.

NEW COMBAT TROUSERS are now available from the Outdoor Centre for Brigins and now form part of the uniform.
