Darkness Into Light 2026 🌄

1st Meath Dunboyne Scout Group was again proud to help with the Darkness Into Light event at Fairyhouse Racecourse on Saturday, 9th of May 2026.

With a 2:30am start, this group had representatives from Cubs, Scouts and Ventures along with Leaders and Parents volunteering.

It is such a pleasure to support this event in our own community, which highlights a hugely important topic. The faces on people, the conversations heard, the smiles, the tears… it gets people together and gets people talking, and is a form of healing and acknowledgement.

As the sun rose above the track at 5:30am, over 1000 participants completed the 5km course and made their way home again.

Our scout volunteers thoroughly enjoyed the morning, and some have already signed up again for 2027! 🌄
