The membership of Scouting Ireland passed a motion signalling no confidence in the direction the current board had taken the organisation, at an annual general meeting (AGM) on Saturday.
The no confidence motion was passed by 55 per cent in a vote, with those speaking in favour indicating the motion was not calling for the current board to step down, but to express dissatisfaction with its performance.
The youth organisation also elected a new chief scout, Jill Pitcher Farrell, a woman in her 20s and a current rover scout.
