On the recent May bank holiday weekend the Sun was up early and so were the Swords Scouts who were up to earn their Air Badge. The Coast Guard team from Howth assisted the scouts in ensuring a landing site was prepared in Rolestown, north west of Swords village. A local football pitch served as the landing zone for Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue 116. The scouts did a sweep of the pitch to ensure any debris that could interfere with the landing was removed.
The scouts safely observed the Coast Guard Helicopter Rescue 116 land and when the all clear was given the scouts got a tour of the helicopter by the crew. Particular attention was given to the importance of safety when approaching the helicopter.
