Welcome to the home page for 3rd Chalkwell Bay Sea Scout Group. Founded in 1931, 3rd Chalkwell Bay operates from a purpose built headquarters in the Old Town of Leigh on Sea in Essex, where we run a huge array activities and training for boys and girls ages 8 to 18, and beyond, and are recognised by the Royal Navy as one of the top 101 Sea scout groups in the country.

The Group has three main sections, the Cub Pack for boys & girls aged 8 – 10, the Sea Scout Troop for boys aged 10 – 14 and the SRS Solebay Sea Ranger Crew for girls aged 10-20. Ganges Explorer Scout Unit for 14-18 year olds also meets at The Den and has close ties with 3rdCB, and all are led by a dedicated and experienced team of volunteers. There is is an old boys (and girls) association called the Leigh Creek Guzzlers, which is open to anyone who has ever been associated with the Group.

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 & power boating training to national standards most weekends along with more traditional Scouting skills such as hiking and camping.
