Over 120 Scouts from all across Ireland set up camp at Ballyboughal Airfield in North Dublin this weekend to participate in Scouting Ireland’s National Air Activities Event, “the Iolar Challenge”
From engineering to rocket building and flight planning to air accident investigation, the teams of Scouts got hands-on experience with industry professionals through a wide variety of STEM-related training bases, with the goal of inspiring the next generation and showcasing the teamwork that allows Irish aviation companies to be class leaders across the globe.

This annual event has been taking place at the family-run airfield in North Dublin since 2015 and on behalf of Scouting Ireland’s Air Activities Team, Anne Kelly would like to thank all the volunteers and companies who came together to make the weekend an inspiration to all the scouts in attendance.
