A chara, - Following your article concerning the amalgamation of the Scout Association of Ireland and the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland (May 16th), we wish to place on record that there are in fact three scout organisations in Ireland, the third being The Baden Powell Scout Association of Ireland. Although we are relatively small in number, we are a founding member of the World Federation of Independent Scouts.
We wish our brother scouts all the best in their venture and although we are not entering this joint organisation we look forward to many years of co-operation. - Yours, etc., Rachel Dawson,
Secretary, BPSI, Exchequer Street, Dublin 2.
