Sea Scouts
The Sea Scout Troop consists of members who are aged 10½ – 14, the Troop is split up into small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking, pitching tents and first aid in preparation for camping, overnight expeditions and bivouacking. Kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, pulling, sailing, raft building, power boating and narrow boating are just some of the water activities they get up to. Scouts also take part in other adventurous activities such as rifle shooting, archery, climbing and abseiling. Badge work features prominently with many Sea Scouts gaining coveted awards like the Chief Scout’s Gold Award.
