1st Nelson Bay Sea Scouts

Directions Website

1st Nelson Bay Sea Scouts Scouting is a movement of young people, being active members of our community, supported by adults Joeys - ages 5-8 meet on a Tuesday night 5.30-6.30pm.

1st Nelson Bay Sea Scouts is located at 2 Norburn Ave Nelson Bay. We currently have a thriving Joey Scouts group and Scouts group. Scouts caters to all children from all backgrounds and all life settings. Scout - ages 11-15 meet on a Wednesday night 6.30-8.30pm. Cubs - ages 8-11 currently has a waiting list and hope to have our Cub group launching term 1 2023 (please message us for more information and to add your child's name to the waiting list)
Venturer Scouts 15-17 and Rover Scouts 18-25 are currently not offered at 1st Nelson Bay Sea Scouts however with interest this could change. Parents or guardians of children who are interested in attending any of the groups listed above should message via this page or contact our group leader direct. Families are encouraged to come and give scouting a go and are welcome to visit and take part in our meetings. We conduct a 4 week trial period after which the child is invested into their group and they are then registered as an offical member of the Scouting movement. Active and creative kids vouchers can be used to offset the cost of NSW Scouting state registration. Parents of Joey aged scouts are required to accompany their Joey on all activities outside out hall eg: bush walks, beach walks and excursions. We also encourage parents to register as parent helpers to ensure the longevity of the group by meeting its supervision requirements for functioning. Scouting is a world wide movement that has shaped the development of young people and adults for over 100 years. Children and young people aged 5-25 enjoy an almost unlimited range of activities that build resilience, develop skills for life and contribute to our community. Over 47 Million Scout members in 170 countries can't be wrong! Scouting is one of the largest and most rapidly growing youth organisations in the world. We are constantly on the look out for new members but also new leaders and assistant leaders. Without adults to support the Scout members on their journey we are unable to run our group. Do you have a skill set you would like to share? Are you looking for a positive way to contribute to our local community? Do you like having fun, going on adventures and positively impacting the lives of kids? The fundamental mission and purpose of Scouting is helping our youth to develop and grow into responsible citizens and active members of our community both local and global. If this sounds like something you would be interested in then Scouts certainly is for you! Scouting isn't just for kids, it is a rewarding activity for adults to participate in with excellent training and mentorship and a vast array off opportunities for self development and making a difference. Join Scouts today ! We can't wait to see you

Tonight not only did we learn 5 knots… Bowline, sheet bend, reef knot, clove hitch , thumb knot…. We learnt why we use them and how to use them. We started the night with a huge human knot where we had to use communication, team work and critical thinking to untangle ourselves so we could get to the most important part … the lollies. Knots are an important part of what we do in outdoor activities but so is listening, following instructions, helping each other, understanding why we learn certain things and being able to do those things from memory , all of which are important life skills for the future.

With the days getting longer and the weather getting warmer we were able to put into practice the skills we have been learning about hiking. We went for a night hike at Mt Tomaree. We looked for wild life and sang like birds and at the end we were treated to hot chocolate and bickies by starlight. What an amazing place we live in!

Scouts is about youth leading youth and gaining the most out of life! Teaching young people practical skills that they can be proud of to empower them, making
them feel a sense of pride in themselves is the most amazing thing to be a part of .

Wow! What a night at Scouts tonight! First up it was our cubs and joeys lighting their world on fire learning all about the art of camp fires and how to build the perfect fire for the job at hand. Then our Scouts and venturers faced off in 1st NBSS Master chef 2026 with a limited ingredients list and time not on their side they produced two delicious dishes that even Gordon Ramsey couldn’t complain about the best part was the leaders got to sample and judge all the elements on the plate and to say we were impressed is a total understatement . Bravo !!!

We were so proud to participate in this year’s Anzac day March as always. Courage, Service and resilience all over arching themes in this commemoration and the ethics of Scouting. We honour the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live in relative peace and live the life of freedom we enjoy today. Lest we forget.
