Based in Thames Ditton, Surrey, Ajax Sea Scouts provides fun and challenge for young people of all ages.

Ajax Sea Scouts operates from its own purpose built Water Activities Centre in Thames Ditton, Surrey. Located on the banks of the river Thames, this first class facility provides the perfect base for a wide range of water activities – and for regular Ajax meetings. Founded in 1948, Ajax is one of only 100 Sea Scout Groups in the United Kingdom to be officially recognised by the Royal Navy. The Group is also an authorised Royal Yachting Association Training Centre. This allows Ajax to teach and to award nationally recognised boating qualifications. The Group also has access to facilities on the south coast which enable Ajax Sea Scouts and Explorer Sea Scouts to gain tidal experience and further boating qualifications.

Yesterday two crews of amazing young people from our Scouts and Explorer sections took part in the Great River Race a 21.6 mile rowing race from the Isle of Dogs to Petersham, with almost 300 other craft. Our U16 team placed 3rd in their age group and our U18 team 8th but more importantly both demonstrated amazing grit and resolve, particularly given an extremely challenging tide in the final stretch. Not only that, they raised an amazing £1300 for SANE Mental Health Charity.

We're super proud of them and the crews from our sister group 1st Cuddington (Warspite) Sea Scout Group.

Finally, a big thank you to Lindner Prater Ltd for sponsoring our boats, the adult coxes in both boats, and to the support teams from Ajax and Warspite that got the boats and crews to the start and back from the finish.

Summer camp 2026 at Roadford Lake has now finished after 10 days of amazing fun for 22 Scouts, over 20 Leaders and 15 Explorers. The final muster consisted of camp certificates, patrol awards and awards for Diane for 20 years of service and a merit for outstanding and dedicated service. Another special thanks to Chris for organising another fantastic camp!

Thanks to all the volunteers that have helped make the last 10 days so memorable.
