Get ready to paddle, build, and battle the waves! The very first Louth Scout County Raft Race made a splash on Saturday, July 26th, 2025, at the stunning Port Beach, Clogherhead. Scouts and Ventures from across the county came together to showcase their pioneering skills, teamwork, and determination in a day packed with fun, friendly rivalry, and sea-soaked adventure.
Against the backdrop of one of Ireland’s most beautiful Blue Flag beaches, teams raced their homemade rafts through surf and sand, cheered on by leaders, families, and fellow Scouts. From creative constructions to spectacular (and sometimes soggy!) finishes, the spirit of Scouting was on full display.
The event marked the beginning of a new tradition in Louth Scout County—celebrating skill, sustainability, and sea-faring spirit in true Scouting style.
Paddle hard, build smart, and see you on the waves in 2026!
