Howth Scout Group

Due to 10 hours of an Uisce Éireann Irish Water sewage emergency overflow at Burrow Beach in Sutton, a Prohibition notice has been put in place with immediate effect and will remain in place for several more days. The EPA Ireland and HSE Ireland have been notified.

Beach users are asked to respect the ‘Do Not Swim’ notice as it has been put in place to ensure that the health of bathers is not compromised.

Seriously!!

Under the recently adopted Parking Control Bye-Laws 2026, Paid Parking was introduced in the Howth Summit Car Park, Howth.



Paid Parking is commencing this coming Monday 8th June 2026.

The following conditions will apply:

Paid Parking days will be Monday to Saturday, 8.00am to 6.00pm
The first 2 hours parking will be free with the hourly rate after that being €1.00 subject to a maximum charge of €5.00

A temporary sign was erected about 2 weeks ago at the entrance to the car park so regular users are aware of the changes

Busy weekend as we facilitated the Sea Scouting - Ireland Adventure Skills Rowing in Howth Harbour.
This was for leaders who are advancing their skills !
Thanks to our scouts who helped out as crew, great reports about you!

Bravo to 5th Port Dollymount Sea Scout Group !

Bravo to our friends in 5th Port Dollymount Sea Scout Group .

Nice evening for rowing yesterday in the harbour!

First on water activity of the year for our Cubs. Plus debut of the SUP boards and new kayak.

Great to have our full Beaver Scout attendance for this activity !
They built a full size replica in sand, of the 15 metre long, 4,500 year old oak canoe that’s in the National Museum. It’s of the time of the earliest Crannógs. And the Crannóg is the theme for Beaver Scouts all over Ireland.

Then we “rowed” to our campfire! 🔥

And toasted marshmallows for our s’mores! 😋
