We’re proud to see former Beavers, Cubs and Sea Scouts who have started careers in the maritime industry.

Good luck!

We believe we help equip young people to learn so they are able to get these opportunities!

We have reached the end of another action-packed term here at 3rd Shoreham, so we wanted to take a moment to celebrate everything the young people have achieved and say a massive thank you to everyone who made it happen!

Our young people have taken part in an incredible variety of activities and built vital skills for life over the past few months. In fact, we have awarded a mind-blowing 1,400 badges in the last 12 months alone—a testament to how hard everyone has been working!

📣Term Highlights Across the Group📣

❤️Squirrels: Enjoyed birdwatching, visiting the lifeboat station, and even taking to the water for a yacht sail!

🩵Beavers: Mastered open-fire/outdoor cooking, tackled scavenger hunts, and had an action-packed adventure day at Lodge Hill.

💚Cubs: Joined forces with other packs for Adur Cub Jam 26— one of our best summer camps yet!

💙Scouts: Got stuck into water sports with paddling, kayaking, and canoeing, alongside plenty of hiking and land-based activities.

🏅A special shoutout goes to all of our young people who earned the highest achievement in their section: the Chief Scout’s Award.

🤩Extra congratulations to Frankie, who earned his Gold Award with several more on track to join him soon!

🏡HQ Improvements & Save the Date

We’ve also been busy behind the scenes upgrading our facilities. Our new showers and changing rooms are almost ready to go! Keep an eye out for an invitation to our AGM on September 13th, where we will be officially unveiling them.

👀Looking Ahead to 2027

We’re already looking well into the future! Dates and bookings are locked in for our Winter Sleepovers and Summer Camps for 2027 across Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts. Our teams will also be busy behind the scenes over the break planning another awesome term for when we return.

🙏A Heartfelt Thank You & How You Can Help

Scouting simply doesn't happen without a strong community. Thank you to all the parents for driving, supporting, and bringing your children along every week—and a huge thank you to our brilliant team of volunteers who make the magic happen.
We are always looking for extra hands to keep the group growing strong.

Whether you can:
-Help out occasionally on a section night
-Train to become a qualified water sports coach
-Help out behind the scenes with admin or facilities
-Join our Board of Trustees to help guide the group's future..we would absolutely love to hear from you!

Please get in touch if you're interested in giving a little time back.

Have a wonderful summer break, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in September! 👋

They did it!! 💪

A huge well done to our Scouts who successfully completed the Overland Hike this weekend 🥳

They were all amazing 🤩

Massive thank you to the support crew who helped it all happen!

Good luck to our team of Scouts taking part in the Overland Hike this weekend.

The Scouts will hike around 15 miles on the Saturday and 10 Miles on the Sunday. There are incidents such as knotting, first aid or even crisp tasting at the 14 checkpoints! Points are awarded for the incidents as well as for hiking at a speed of 3 miles per hour.

At the campsite teams are marked on their campcraft, menus, cooking and how tidy they leave their allocated site.

The hike is a true test of a wide range of Scouting skills!

I’m sure they will do us proud.

A big thank you to our volunteers who have made it possible to take part 🙏

The Group is looking for a volunteer to independently examine our accounts on an annual basis.

This role is ideal for someone with experience in finance, bookkeeping, or accountancy. Please note that while professional qualifications are a plus, they are not a requirement.

This is a vital but low-commitment task, required only once a year and designed to be minimally time-consuming. If you are interested in helping us with this small yet essential responsibility, please get in touch at [email protected]

Thanks 🙏
