3rd Chalkwell Bay Sea Scout Group is one of the oldest Scout Groups in the country; founded in 1931 we have been growing strongly ever since and now boast over 150 young people in our ranks.

Over the past 8 decades the Group has had many headquarters, or "Dens", throughout the Old Town in Leigh-on-Sea. We has now come to rest on Victoria Wharf where our purpose build headquarters offers superb access to the sea for a wide range of water activities on our fleet of sailing, rowing and motor boats.

A typical year's activities will include a week's walking and expeditions in Derbyshire, a week’s summer camp, a variety of weekend training and activity camps, weekly meetings for training and activities, night hikes, not to mention that we are open almost every weekend for sailing, boating, swimming and a host of other activities.

The group has two main sections, The Cub Pack, for boys & girls aged 8 - 10, the Scout Troop for boys aged 10 - 15. The SRS Solebay Sea Ranger Crew also meet at The Den, and even though they are not part of The Scout Association they have very strong links with the Group and join in with most of our activities. 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.

We are one of only 100 Admiralty Recognised Sea Scout Groups in the country – giving us access to a range of naval equipment and facilities, as well as being a Royal Yachting Association Recognised Training Establishment with professionally qualified instructors.
