3rd Chalkwell Bay Sea Scouts

Explorer Summer Camp
2026-07-24 05:00 - 2026-08-01 16:00 (Europe/London) | Lansallos National Trust Site, Lansallos, Cornwall, United Kingdom
Explorer Summer Camp 2026 will be in Cornwall, camping near Lansallos on Cornwall’s beautiful south coast, just a stones throw from the beach.

It’s a green field camp – back to basics, with no facilities. The Explorers will camp in tents and cook for themselves on open fires. There will be a fun packed program for the week focussing on team building and lots of adventure. The site is only 4min walk from a secluded beach so we’ll be making great use of that too.

The price of this camp is £280, which will include everything needed for the week. A £55 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your Explorer’s place. The balance will be paid in instalments of £75 in May, June and July through the Parent Portal.

Planned activities include surfing lessons or coasteering, as well as games and lots of activities throughout the week, on and off the site. As always there’ll be an opportunity to head into the local town and a trip to Newquay so some spending money will be required.

Due to the location of the camp and logistics of getting there numbers are limited to 33 Explorers, available on a first come first serve basis. If you miss out on a space please use the waiting list so we can gauge interest.

We will depart the den at 0500 on the Friday 24 Jul and return the following Saturday 1 Aug by around 1600. The early departure time comes with a view of taking our time getting there and hopefully beating some traffic.

A full kit list, medical form, and more details will be circulated nearer the time.

Old Leigh Regatta
2026-09-12 00:00 - 2026-09-13 23:59 | Old Leigh, High Street, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 2EN, United Kingdom
A weekend of family fun across Old Leigh hosted by 3rd Chalkwell Bay and 4th / 6th Leigh Sea Scouts, and we need your help to make it a fantastic weekend.

In addition to the traditional sailing races, welly-hoying, tug-o-war and cockle eating competitions, there will be scores of local community stalls, games, live music, entertainment and activities for all the family.

For those that haven’t been to Leigh Regatta before, it’s a weekend long family street festival in the Old Town, organised by the Old Leigh Sea Scout Groups (3rdCB and 4th/6th Leigh). The road is closed and filled with stalls, games, entertainment, live music, sailing and competitions between the Sea Scout Groups. Traditionally it has been one of our biggest fundraising events of the year and a huge amount of fun.

We need help from the Scouts and Explorers over the weekend to run stalls, games, help set up, and take part in the competitions on and off the water – specifically we need:

Help on both days from about 9am till 6pm (Regatta opens 11am, finishes about 6pm)

Setting up and taking down of stalls

Running the game stalls (Bat the Rat, Hook a Duck, Darts in Envelopes)

Running a balloon stall and helping on the information stand

Taking part in competitions with 4th/6th Leigh – tug o war, bowsprit pillow fights, dinghy races and sailing races.

Adults (parents, family, friends) to help as stewards for the event.

Cubs and Beavers are really welcome to come and help out as well with their parents, and take part in the many activities on offer.

3rd CB receiving a portion of the profits from the weekend which helps with running costs for the Group. If all Scouts and Explorers can help, even just for an hour or two, it will be much appreciated. Help from parents, siblings and family is also very welcome, and it’s a great atmosphere.
