How Did the Tenth Begin?

The story of the 10th Belfast stretches back to Scouting's earliest days in Ireland, to the Bloomfield Patrol of 1908 and the 11th Belfast Troop of 1909. These merged to form the tenth in 1910. From its fostering of the fledgling movement in Ulster the Tenth went on to become the only known Scout Group to have been collectively honoured by two different Scout Associations:

Medal of Merit

The Tenth were awarded the Medal of Merit of the Boy Scout Association in 1931

Silver Medal of Merit

Sixty years later, the Tenth were awarded the Silver Medal of Merit of the Catholic Boy Scouts of Ireland in recognition of its cross-community and cross-border commitments
