Following the donation to Scouting of the Castle Saunderson Demesne, the International Scout Centre started life as a project driven by the then Chief Scout of Scouting Ireland (CSI), the project was researched, key stakeholders engaged and funding started via grant applications and a programme to secure donations.

In 2003 a decision was made to transfer the assets and the project to a company separate to Scouting Ireland, and the company which is now called Scouting Ireland Campsites and Facilities Company Limited by Guarantee was established.

As the project was in flight prior to the establishment of the company details of amounts raised or spent prior to that financial year are not to hand, the oldest set of accounts for that company currently on file at the Companies Registrations Office (CRO) are for the year ending December 31st 2005.
