Finding Upcoming Events and Contact Info on The Sionnach Adventure Site

Updated

The Sionnach Adventure site (sionnach.org) is the official information page for a backpacking adventure in Ireland's mountains and islands, run for Scout patrols. To find upcoming events, look for the Upcoming Events section referenced on the site; for background on the activity, use the About section; and to follow or reach the organisers, use the Social links. The page itself is a single informational page with these sections rather than a full events calendar with dates listed in the source material.

What the site covers

The site describes The Sionnach Adventure as an opportunity to backpack in some of Ireland's mountains and islands. It also frames the event as a way to develop navigation, lightweight backpacking, personal development and teamwork skills in wild countryside — and, in the organisers' words, "most of all to have fun."

The page's stated ethos appears in its heading: "Take nothing but memories, leave nothing but footprints..."

Where to look for each thing

What you need Where to look on the site What you'll find
Upcoming events Upcoming Events section The listing area for forthcoming Sionnach Adventures (the source page names the section but does not list specific dates)
Background and purpose About section What the adventure involves, who it is for, and what participants gain
Following or contacting organisers Social section Links to the organisers' social channels

If the Upcoming Events section is empty or undated when you visit, the Social links are the practical route to ask about the next event or confirm details.

Who the event is for

According to the site, patrols of four Scouts aged 13 to 17, accompanied by a leader, can take part. Patrols need:

  • Basic experience in hill walking
  • The required equipment
  • A leader who can be persuaded to join them

This matters when you are planning: an event search is only useful if your patrol meets these conditions, so check them before committing to dates.

What the cost covers — and what it doesn't

The site states that the cost of each Sionnach Adventure includes the information booklet and the administration costs of the adventure. It explicitly does not include transport to and from the event, or food. Budget for travel and meals separately when you plan around an upcoming event.

Practical next steps

  1. Open sionnach.org and read the About section to confirm the format and requirements fit your patrol.
  2. Check the Upcoming Events section for the next adventure.
  3. Use the Social links to follow the organisers or ask about dates, entry and any details not covered on the page.
  4. Confirm your patrol has four Scouts aged 13–17, a willing leader, basic hill-walking experience and the required equipment before applying.
