The original Scout Den was built and opened in 1982, however disaster struck in 2001 when our Scout Den had to be demolished after a boundary wall collapsed on it, rendering it unsafe for use. The den was subsequently demolished and the 7th Tipperary Scout Group was left homeless. The Scout Group has had a number of stop gap homes since the demolition of the old den which have been wholly unsuitable for the activities of our group. We have been campaigning and fundraising hard ever since, in the hope of being able to build a modern den, purpose built to suit our activities as well as for the other like-minded organisations within the area and a host of other local clubs and Scouting Groups from all over the world.

Our primary function is to match individuals and groups interested in volunteering with appropriate volunteering opportunities. To do this, we offer advice and support to both volunteers and volunteer-involving organisations through a range of services that include information provision, consultation, training and Garda Vetting. The South Tipperary Volunteer Centres provides an invaluable link between individuals wishing to undertake voluntary activity and organisations seeking to involve volunteers. We believe passionately in the value of volunteering and the benefits of volunteering for all: the individual, the volunteer-involving organisation and the wider society. In addition to placing volunteers, we stimulate and encourage volunteering by promoting volunteering at a local level in South Tipperay. We work towards breaking down the barriers to volunteering and target specific groups of people who are under- or unrepresented in volunteering. We develop volunteering opportunities through consultation with local voluntary and community organisations and recognise the potential of volunteering. We encourage groups and organisations to think creatively about volunteering and to develop imaginative, non-traditional opportunities for potential volunteers. In addition, the South TIpperary Volunteer Centres offers tailored and bespoke volunteer management training to interested groups and organisations.
