 3rd Chalkwell Bay Scout Group was founded in 1931, and has been growing strongly ever since.
The Group has three main sections, the Cub Pack for boys & girls aged 8 - 10, the Scout Troop for boys aged 10 - 15 and the the SRS Solebay Sea Ranger Crew for girls aged 10-21, who also meet at The Den, and even though they are not part of the the Scout Association they have very strong links with the Group. There is also an old boys association called the Guzzlers, which is open to anyone who has ever been associated with the group, and a support group run by parents.
3rd CB is based in the Old Town of Leigh on Sea, and is one of 10 Scout Groups (and 2 admiralty recognized Sea Scout Groups) in Southend West district, Essex.
Being a Sea Scout Group a lot of our activities are based on the water and we have a great number of boats including Wanderers, Topazs, a Laser Stratos and a collection of safety and rowing boats to name a few, and we are an RYA recognised training centre, giving formal sailing & powerboating training to Scouts most weekends.
We undertake a lot of land based training throughout the year including camping, walking weeks and expeditions. |

After many years of loyal service, Angela will formally retire as Sea Ranger Skipper on 14th July 2009. We hope that she will not disappear from the 3rd CB family entirely and will continue to be a welcome guest at many of the group functions as well as frequent visits to Rangers on Monday nights. Everyone involved with the group would like to express our thanks for the years of commitment Angela has shown and by way of a thank you, parents of all members involved with the Group are invited to attend the AGM on 7th July at 2000hrs which will be followed by a Retirement Celebration for Angela. Drinks and refreshments will be provided. The children will be holding their own celebration for Angela at Summer Camp. |

 3rdCB is pleased to welcome Eric Funa into the Group as the new Akela and Cub Scout Leader. Eric has been helping with the Pack for some time now, but is certainly not new to the movement - he has taken part in Scouting all over the world and was the UK contact for the contingent from his native Philippines during the recent centenary world jamboree.

This year’s RYA Inspection was held on the 29th November. The inspection is an informal visit from a RYA Inspector, where he viewed the courses which the Group runs and checked up on the details of the Instructors. |

Whilst sufficient funds exist, the GUZZLERS' Committee are willing to accept applications, made to The GUZZLERS Secretary, from any current Group or ex-Group member who can demonstrate their 'whole Scout/Ranger' worthiness, who would like assistance in funding a worthwhile Adventurous Pursuit. |

 This year’s RN Inspection was again a huge success in which the Group passed with flying colours on this year’s land based inspection. The Inspecting Officer Lt Cdr Griffiths very impressed with the format of the evening and that the Group was a very, "smart and well disciplined Group whose members had made a significant effort with their appearance".
