The project aims to support eductation for poor children in India. The Rainbow Troop of 18 male and female Scouts from Dublin will spend 3 weeks in India from December 20th to January 11th providing teaching assistance and introducing Scout Programme to the Loreto Sealdah School in Kolkata and building a school at Laitkor, Meghalaya.

In addition, The Rainbow Fund aims to provide long-term financial support to this cause. You can donate to The Rainbow Fund by contacting John Lawlor at jlawlor@scout.org.

Chief Scout Michael John Shinnick



The Chief Scout Michael John Shinnick complements the “18 young people” (thanks Chief) of the Rainbow Challenge and tells us he and Scouting Ireland are proud of the project.
Chief Commissioner Adult Resources, John Brennan also attended and their team won one of the place prizes in the table quiz. I won’t say which one. The picture below may give a hint.
