Welcome to 1st Warsash Sea Scout Group

‘Scouting makes life an adventure again’

We are a Royal Navy accredited Scout Group based in Warsash, Hampshire with over 150 Beavers, Cubs & Scouts. A team of 40 adult volunteer leaders run a wide variety of activities following the balanced programme of the Scout Association.

At 1st Warsash, we are lucky enough to have our own large headquarters in Warsash, where not only are our weekly meetings held, but we also have a separate building for maintaining our fleet of sailing dinghies and kayaks. Every week in the summer, you will see the Scouts out on the water enjoying a variety of water activities. Cubs and Beavers also have taster sessions on the water during their meetings. All of our young people have the opportunity to experience nights away from home, whether camping, enjoying a kayaking expedition or just sleeping overnight at our headquarters.

We have a fantastic team of adult volunteers from uniformed leaders to those who look after our resources, buildings, boats and finances. They also learn new skills and make new friends.

One of our District Explorer units meets at 1st Warsash headquarters, helping us to smooth the way of our older Scouts moving to Explorers at the age of 14 years.

Scouting

Scouting offers challenge and adventure to over 450,000 young people and 100,000 adults across the UK. Whether it’s a Beaver Scout waking up after their first sleepover, a Cub Scout abseiling and overcoming a fear of heights or a Scout leading their patrol on an expedition, on land or water, our young people grow in confidence by trying out new skills and stretching themselves.

As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life.

We encourage our young people to do more, learn more and be more.

Each week, we give over 450,000 young people the opportunity to enjoy fun and adventure while developing the skills they need to succeed, now and in the future. We’re talking about teamwork, leadership and resilience – skills that have helped Scouts become everything from teachers and social workers to astronauts and Olympians.

We believe in bringing people together. We celebrate diversity and stand against intolerance, always.

We’re a worldwide movement, creating stronger communities and inspiring positive futures.

Our values

As Scouts we live by the values of Scouting. They underpin everything we do, how we act and the way we treat each other.

‘Integrity – respect – care – belief – cooperation’.

We believe that skills for life can prepare better futures:

• for young people – by giving them the character, employability and practical skills they need to succeed
• for volunteers – by equipping them with better skills, tools and support to deliver inspiring programmes
• for society – by bringing people together and improving the lives of those in our communities.
