Yes other renters might make the council a little more revenue BUT scouts make the community the council is meant to be serving. Give it back, it is the decent thing to do and you know it.Helen Edwards (Amersham, 2023-04-15)

what is happening uis an absolute disgrace, scouting is the heart of a community and as a council you should be supportive of such a worth while cause within the community of tullow.Scouting is inclusive to all and what the Council is doing is not only wrong it's very unscout like.
As Baden Powell once said ... the most worth while thing is to try put happiness in the life of others.

Children are our future and Scouts plays such an important role in shaping them. By evicting this Scout Group you are preventing them from preparing children to become useful citizens of tomorrow.Gemma McDonald (Bordon, 2023-04-15)

I am a cub scout leader. This is wrong. Why didn't the council pay for the repairs.. if they are not allowed back in then they should be reimbursed. Whatever was the rent being paid going towards!!Susan Fox (Kettering, 2023-04-15)

Scouting gives young people in the local area a chance to discover themselves, to explore and challenge themselves and become a valued member of the local community. By taking away their meeting place you are depriving young people of this opportunity.Paul Williams (Coventry, 2023-04-15)

Its for the kids, we need this building to run our program properly. The group are suffering & leaders are getting frustrated trying to run meetings where we are. We are grateful for the use of the building we are using now but it's not suitable.Paul Byrne (CARLOW, 2023-04-15)

The scouts is a wonderful organisation run by volunteers who dedicate their time energy and efforts into improving young people’s lives they should be supported by their local communities and councils to continue this tireless workTim Wakefield (Chesterfield, 2023-04-15)

As a volunteer in a scout group in Kildare where something similar is happening, I am adding my voice to the many others who have signed this petition to request Carlow Co. Council revisit their decision and allow the Tullow scout group back into the premises they worked so hard to upgrade.Andrew Brennan (Kildare, 2023-04-15)

Not all kids are into sports, Scouts are some kids only activities. This is not only happening in Tullow and it needs to stop. Think of the kids now and in the future, allow them have a future in Tullow.Deborah Bonnie (Co. Kildare, 2023-04-15)

I feel disgusted that the council could treat such an amazing community group in this way. To take facilities away from youngsters, who have fund raised and improved the facilities is criminal.Tracey Stevens (Uckfield, 2023-04-15)

The Scouts are an important part of the Community. They need their Den to provide a space to meet and plan activities for the young people in the area.Victoria Buckley (Kilcullen, 2023-04-15)

This Council is not acting in a way that is in keeping with its core function - to support local youth services. It is effectively taking to itself the costly improvements made over years, and from which it will benefit. The whole situation is completely unethical and should be actually an illegal grab of others' assets.Richard Wright (Seaford, 2023-04-15)

Scouts is a wonderful opportunity for young people and should be supported by local councils, especially when they have spent so much on maintenance!Tina Elliott (SEAFORD, 2023-04-16)

My son has been in the Scout movement in many capacities and has gained so much and want many more young people to benefitPat Morgan (Bridgwater, 2023-04-16)

The scouting movement gives opportunities to young people from all so io economic groups that is vital for their development. I do not believe that it is fair or acceptable that’s council should be able to deny access to a building that the group has funded so heavily to renovate without good cause or an acceptable alternative venue being provided.Trudy Arkinstall (Ottery St Mary, 2023-04-16)

As a scouter in another province this sounds like a terrible loss to the young people of the community. Hope it can be resolved.Sharon Keane (Galway, 2023-04-16)
#471
I’m signing it due to the fact there is very little space in tullow for any group to call there home. This would be great for the Scouts. As they already put so much into it. Why leave it unattended and not used when there are groups out there that need it.Liam Carroll (Carlow, 2023-04-16)
#472
Because as a scouter I see the great work these leaders do for the young people.The hours ,The planning and time away from their own families.
The need and deserve a home for the group to continue.

The work The people have put in to the building and not least the time they give to the scouts is forgotten when greed raises its ugly head.Carole Maher (Dublin, 2023-04-17)

The Scouts have tried their hardest to maintain a building that wasn't their responsibility to. The council have been happy to take a rent from them, and now being evicted. Are they going to be offered a like for like alternative?Lyn Wouldham (Braintree, 2023-04-17)

It is important to support volunteers and children involved in the activity and promote it's success while recognising the important and positive contribution it makes to the young people of Tullow and surrounding areas.MARIA CAHILL (Carlow, 2023-04-17)

Scouting is run by local volunteer leaders who give selflessly of their time to support local children and teenagers to develop into responsible young adults and it has diverted many a young adult from antisocial behavior. . The den is required for these activities and is necessary and should be supported by the local authority.Martina Blake (Kilcullen, 2023-04-17)
#487
Having raised and spent a fortune on maintaining a building, it is sharp practice and leaves a bad taste that a local authority should act in this highly disreputable way! One of the local authorities duties is to support youth provision which they are blatantly failing to do.This smacks of a very corrupt and dodgy set of councillors who certainly aren’t working in the interests of their local community!
It stinks!

The tullow scouts have put so much work into this building they spent so much money and time fixing everything only to loose everything.Fiona Dunbar Kennedy (Carlow, 2023-04-17)
#497
Scouts provide an invaluable resource for the community, how many young people have passed through their doors. The council should be bending over backwards to support the scout group not hindering them. Not to mention allowing the group to spend, what is a huge amount of money to a volunteer group, on repairs and improvements only to oust the kids the first chance they got. Disgusting and disgraceful behaviour. Shame on Carlow County Council, remember who you're supposed to be working for.Mary Kelly (Kilkenny, 2023-04-17)
#498
Scouts are a fantastic way for children to be children, learn how to socialise outside of school, learn discipline, respect andself sufficiency. It is disgraceful that the council would do away with renting this facility that has obviously been maintained and upgraded by this group without the help of the council.Februarie Crooke (Athy, 2023-04-17)

Supporting a fellow scout group and I know the investment and work going into maintaining a group and hall. Along with other charity and volunteer organisations they are being priced out and may not even be able to find somewhere to move to and we could end up losing a prominent community group if they cannot stay.James Smith (North Shields, 2023-04-19)

As the Scouts have proved to be good custodians of the building, upgrading at there own expense. It is only right that such a dedicated community group, be allowed to continue to set an example of the importance of Local government support in the Community.Andrew O'Brien (Limerick, 2023-05-02)

Tullow scouts need to have a Den and if they had invested money and time into maintainance prior to Council evicting them, they should be allowed back into the premises.Niamh Fullam-Uí Mhathúna (Cork, 2023-05-06)

I know the amazing benefit to the young people in a community that a well run scout group can have. Giving this amazing scout group the security of having there own den back will ensure the benefits to Carlow for years to comeDaithi O'Donohoe (Dublin, 2023-12-26)
