The Board of Scouting Ireland has written to its members informing them of the expulsion of a number of individuals from the association.
They include Chief Scout Christy McCann, Chief Commissioner David Shalloo and former board member Ollie Kehoe.
In those cases, the board says it found evidence of misconduct under Scouting Ireland s disciplinary process and that they have been expelled from membership of the association.
The email says the board also found evidence of misconduct in relation to a fourth member, Therese Bermingham.
The correspondence states that Ms Bermingham is limited to working within her local group as a Programme Scouter and may not hold any position in the organisation outside of that group for the period of two years.
