3rd Wigton Sea Scout Group 3rd Wigton Scout Group has 5 sections: Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts & Explorers Just Add Water! Living the adventure in Wigton since 1957. Everyoneโ€™s welcome.

Our Leaders have a combined experience in Scouting of over 100years. We have 4 sections: Beavers (5 ยพ - 8 years), Cubs (8-10 ยฝ ) Scouts (10 ยฝ -14) & Explorers 14-18. As a landlocked Sea Scout group we aim to provide our youth members with every opportunity to experience adventures both on water and land. Many of our meetings are held in the great outdoors that surround us in beautiful Cumbria. Scouts are do-ers and give-it-a-go-ers. Yes, we go camping, hiking, sailing, abseiling, cycling and canoeing. But it is also a time to hang out with friends every week โ€“ having fun, playing games, working in a team and taking on new challenges. As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with . We bring communities together and contribute to society. We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more. Above all, we aim to build better futures by giving young people the skills to succeed:
โ€ข Character skills like resilience, initiative, independence and tenacity
โ€ข Employability skills like leadership, teamwork and problem solving
โ€ข Practical skills like coding, cooking and First Aid. All genders, races and backgrounds. Regardless of your childโ€™s physical ability โ€“ thereโ€™s a Scout adventure out there waiting for them. And weโ€™ll help them find it. Help your child discover their โ€˜thingโ€™: from abseiling to coding to performance art and everything in between by contacting us via the Email or Message Us links.

Last week our Beavers marked Remembrance by creating beautiful tissue paper LED remembrance jars and taking time to think about what Remembrance means and why we continue to wear poppies and remember those who served. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐ŸŒบ
The evening also gave us the chance to celebrate some fantastic achievements, with badge presentations for our Animal Friend Badge and badges earned during our Family Camp at Ennerdale. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ•๏ธ
We were delighted to welcome several new faces, with new Beavers being invested, our former Squirrels proudly renewing their Promise as they officially began their Beaver adventure, and a special welcome to our newest Beaver leaders, Wren and Butterfly, who were also invested into the Colony. ๐Ÿฟ๏ธโžก๏ธ๐Ÿฆซ๐Ÿ’™
A lovely evening of reflection, achievement and new beginnings. Well done, Beavers! ๐Ÿ’™

๐ŸŽƒ Carved, Wrapped & Conquered! ๐Ÿงป๐Ÿ‘ป
Halloween fun was in full swing for our Scouts and Explorers last week! ๐ŸŽƒ
Armed with pumpkins, carving tools and plenty of imagination, everyone created some fantastic designs, with some very ingenious carving techniques appearing along the way! ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ”ช
The challenge then switched from pumpkins to people as patrols took on the legendary Toilet Roll Mummy Challenge ๐Ÿงป. Speed, teamwork and a whole lot of toilet roll were the key ingredients as patrols raced to create the ultimate mummy.
Some impressive wrapping skills were on show, but which patrol was crowned the fastest? ๐Ÿ†โฑ๏ธ
A brilliant evening packed with creativity, teamwork and plenty of laughs! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿงป

๐ŸŒฒ Work Party Weekend! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒ
Last weekend our Scout and Explorer leaders were hard at work at our Scout Woodland tackling a huge improvement project.
A tremendous amount has been achieved, including the construction of new walkways to help make the site more accessible and usable throughout the year. Alongside this, plenty of clearing, levelling and general woodland maintenance took place to keep our outdoor space looking its best.
These projects don't happen by magic and are only possible thanks to the dedication, time and effort of our amazing volunteer team.
A massive thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in. Bet you enjoyed your well-deserved brew!
Many thanks also to BSW Timber, Carlisle & Travis Perkins , Wigton for their welcome donations of materials & timber. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฒโšœ๏ธ

A huge thank you to Jacky Volkers from Solway Red Squirrels for visiting our Squirrel Scouts with special guest Binsey the puppet (Binsey Red Squirrel Group) โค๏ธ
Through interactive storytelling, hands-on activities and fun games, our Squirrels learned all about the wonderful red squirrel, the challenges they face, and how we can help protect them. It was a fantastic evening that really brought local wildlife to life and inspired our young people to become nature champions.
Thank you, Jacky, for such an engaging and memorable session! ๐Ÿฟ๏ธ๐ŸŒณ

Future Vets in the Making! ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿพ
This week our Beavers enjoyed a fantastic visit to Belle Vue Vets - Pets in Wigton as part of their Animal Friend Badge.
After masking up and putting on gloves, the Beavers had great fun learning how to care for poorly animals, practising their bandaging skills on some very patient "patients" (cuddly toys! ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿถ). They also learned about the different roles within a veterinary practice and all the different animals they look after.
As part of the evening, the Beavers also showcased their Animal Friend diaries, sharing their love and care for their pets and garden friends.
A huge thank you to Rachel, Veterinary Nurse, for organising the visit, and to Stephanie, Vet, for giving up their time to give our Beavers such an interesting and hands-on experience.

From Plan to Plate ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ
Last week our Cubs put their planning into practice as they tackled the savoury course of their Chef Badge. It was finally time to get cooking!
There was plenty of chopping, stirring and teamwork on show, with some fantastic savoury dishes produced. Best of all, the Cubs got to enjoy the results of their hard work at the end of the evening. ๐Ÿ˜‹
It was great to see one Six carefully considering the dietary requirements within their team, adapting their recipe so everyone could enjoy the meal together. A fantastic example of good menu planning. ๐Ÿ‘
Next week, it's time for everyone's favourite part... the puddings! ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฎ We can't wait to see what delicious & healthy creations they come up with.
