1st & 2nd Frenchs Forest Scout groups
Excerpt from UTYANA . A booklet produced for the opening of the hall on the 6th March 1976
UTYANA. Standing at the high end of Utyana Place, above Bantry Bay, the new scout hall looked superb on it's opening day. Well designed and very much at home in it's native setting. A happy place , where young people could learn how to become self-dependant, yet ready to help those who were not; or a bridge whereby boys could safely cross into manhood.
Built solidly, like the scouting association itself, the hall is a focus of those strong community virtues which made democracies, as well as scouting , what they are. Long may it serve in its role of initiating youth for the challenges of the adult world.
