Mount Melleray Scout Centre
Mount Melleray Scout Activity and Sport Centre
lies high in the Knockmealdown Mountains 7 km's outside the
town of Cappoquin, County Waterford (in Scouting
Ireland's Waterford
Scout County). Originally a boarding school attached to
the Abbey of Mount Melleray it was acquired by the
Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland
in 1979 and opened as a Scout Centre.
The front of the Scout Centre
Since then the Scout Centre has been continuously improved and
now offers you the opportunity to run a very active and varied
programme for "Scouts" of every age. With hills and
mountains at our back door and a glen with river and forest
nearby, it is an ideal Scouting location. It is an exciting
activity base for all, from the smallest Beaver to the most
experienced Venturer.
So why not bring your group to Mount
Melleray Scout Activity and Sport Centre so that they
may avail of the wide range of facilities and activities that
we have on offer and what will be a very enjoyable and memorable
stay, both for them and you.
