(Wexford/SCOUTING IRELAND) – Cub Scout Emma and her friends at 3rd Gorey Scout Group in Wexford, Ireland, were thrilled when news was made public yesterday that Emma’s drawing entry in this year’s “Doodle for Google Ireland” art competition had been short listed as one of 75 finalists among thousands entries.

“I have lots of real adventures with my friends in Cub Scouts”, Emma wrote in her message accompanying her picture, saying that she had decided to show “things we do to try help raise awareness of Scouting in Ireland and all the fun things we do.” She added that she was looking forward to foreign trips with her Scout Group when she would have joined the Scout section.
