A huge congratulations to Corey on being presented with the Senior Patrol Leader badge!

This is a fantastic achievement and a real reflection of your leadership, commitment, and the example you set for others in the unit. The role of Senior Patrol Leader carries real responsibility, and you’ve clearly earned the trust and respect of all the Scouts and leaders.

We’re incredibly proud of everything you’ve achieved so far and can’t wait to see how you continue to grow in this role. Well done and keep up the great work!

Huge well done to our Scouts who attended their very first sailing session at Felixstowe Ferry Youth Sailing yesterday! ⛵

They showed fantastic enthusiasm, teamwork, and courage out on the water. A brilliant start to what we hope will be many more adventures to come.

What do you get when you mix Sea Scouts, a fleet of keel boats, and a lot of questionable cleaning techniques? Last night’s answer: organised chaos and boats that are almost ready to hit the water!

In their patrols, the Scouts chose their keel boats (Kingfisher, Otter and Raven) and rolled up their sleeves to start cleaning and preparing them for the upcoming sessions on the water.

We’re looking forward to seeing these boats back where they belong very soon ⛵️🌊

Last week we kicked things off by welcoming some new Scouts and getting everyone back into the swing of things. The evening was spent brushing up on essential ropework skills - perfect preparation for some of the exciting activities we’ve got coming up this term.

Tonight our Scouts had a go at making meatballs from scratch to see who has what it takes to go forward to the upcoming district cooking competition. They all showed great effort and enthusiasm and the results were actually edible!

Tonight our Sea Scouts got stuck into charts and nautical terminology.

Working through a set of questions, they learned how to use pilot books, charts, plotters and dividers to find their answers (hopefully we won’t have to explain what RIB stands for again!)

Last week our Scouts worked towards their Communicators Badge, sending messages and cracking codes using Morse code, semaphore and the phonetic alphabet.
