 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. |

Back by popular demand, our next fund raising event will be a Sunday lunch curry at the Tandoori Parlour, Hart Road, Thundersley, starting at 12:30 on Sunday 7 March. The cost is £12 per person (or £8 for children under 12). Parking is available.
We have used this restaurant many times before and they provide a very nice selection, including English food and mild Indian cuisine for those who don't like it too hot. We get a good commission back from them and and with a raffle as well it is a good fun way of raising funds.

 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.

2009 sees Sea Scouts celebrating their centenary; not quite the same to-do as the celebrations of 2007 for the Scouting Centenary, but still an important birthday and events are happening throughout this year. 18th October 2009 was the day chosen for Royal Naval Recognised Groups to celebrate with a parade and commemoration service, held within Her Majesty’s Naval Base, Portsmouth and each of the 100 RN Recognised Groups was invited to attend with 6 Scouts and 3 three leaders.

After many years of loyal service, Angela will formally retired 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.

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. |
