Group AGM
2026-03-25 20:30 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | The Den, Victoria Wharf, High Street, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 2EN, United Kingdom
The AGM is a legal requirement of our charitable status, allowing members of the Group Council (that’s all parents, adult members, Sea Scout Patrol Leaders, Explorer Scouts and Guzzlers) to receive a formal reports on our activities and accounts for the past year, scrutinise the management team, and approve nominations to the Group’s Trustee Board, who oversee the Group’s governance and finances. Sea Scout Patrol Leaders and Explorer Scouts are de-facto members of the Group Scout Council, and are encouraged to join in and have a say in how their Scout Group is run.

This year there are some changes to how the Trustee Board operates being implemented, as part of a review and refresh across Scouting in the UK.

The AGM will only last half an hour and so hopefully will not erode into your evening too much. We hope you can attend this event and very much look forward to seeing you on the night.

One of the hottest social events of the summer: the 3rdCB Band Night is back again, ready to kick off the summer.

Watch the sun go down with friends and family, and dance the night away to some great entertainment, including the awesome All Roads live on stage.

We’ll have the cool V-Dub Tavern to keep you hydrated with their selection of awesome cocktails, Piperoni Pizza cooking up fresh pizzas, or feel free to bring your own drinks & nibbles.

All proceeds go towards supporting Scouting and activities for young people at 3rd Chalkwell Bay.

Children and young people are welcome and encouraged to attend, but under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Adults are very welcome to bring their own drinks and snacks, but please remember that under 18s are not permitted to consume alcohol on Scout premises. The Den is a no smoking site.

Zen with Ben Soundbath
2026-07-07 19:15 - 20:15 | The Den, Victoria Wharf, High Street, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 2EN, United Kingdom
Join us for an evening of relaxation in by the sea Old Leigh. Zen with Ben is providing the chill out vibes with a Soundbath evening at The Den, helping us fundraise to support 3rdCB’s Scouting activities.

A Soundbath is a relaxing experience where crystal singing bowls and instruments create resonant tones that help calm the nervous system. Simply lie down and allow the sound vibrations to guide you into a relaxed state.

The jetty will be open for anyone wanting to enjoy the sea breeze or swim at high water from 6pm (All swimming at your own risk: no lifeguard on duty).

You may wish to bring a pillow and blanket, and wear comfortable clothes for the sound bath. Air mattresses will be provided.

Over 18s only please.

Please note that Soundbaths are not suitable for individuals with pacemakers, epilepsy, non-titanium metal implants or those in the third trimester of pregnancy. If you are unsure whether a Soundbath is suitable for you, please consult a medical professional before attending.

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.
