Alongside Scouting, 3rd Chalkwell Bay gives Sea Scouts and Explorers the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) with us, building on their Scouting skills and encouraging them to learn new ones.

We are holding an information and registration evening on Wed 9 October from 20:15 where you can find out more about what the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme is.

Participants must be minimum of Year 9 currently to register for Bronze. We have run this at 3rd CB for the past 7 years and participants have successfully completed Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards, we plan to run all these award levels again in 2025.

Participation will involve 3 weekends of training, practice and assessed expeditions as well as some evening calls to support with their completion of the Skills, Volunteering and Physical sections.

You can find out more about the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at 3rdCB.org.uk/dofe/ or on the DofE website at www.DofE.org

If you would like to register interest and you can join our evening session please could you drop us a return email to dofe@3rdCB.org.uk so we can make sure there are enough chairs and literature available.

Parade Service to New Road Fishermen’s Chapel in Old Leigh, celebrating and giving thanks for the Harvest.

Meet at The Den at 10:30 in full uniform.

To celebrate the harvest, for October’s Church Parade we’ll be collecting donations of tinned, dried and long-life food, snacks and toiletries, which will be donated through our friends at HARP Southend to our city’s less fortunate residents. If you can, please bring a donation of one of the items above, either on the day or beforehand on your usual meeting night, which will be donated to HARP to support their fantastic work.

We parade through the Old Town with colours flying to the chapel, returning to The Den on completion. We are normally finished by 12:15. Family and friends are welcome to join us in the chapel for the service. All sections are welcome to attend, and it counts towards several challenge & activity badges.

Sunday Duty Patrol
2024-10-27 11:30 - 13:00 | The Den, Victoria Wharf, High Street, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 2EN, United Kingdom
We all have a responsibility to keep The Den clean & tidy, and to ensure that the boats are bailed regularly, particularly during the winter months. On the third Sunday of each month the Scouts and Explorers take it in turns (by Patrol / Division) to be the Sunday Duty Patrol and keep our HQ and equipment running properly. Please make a note of the day your patrol is on duty – it is only once a year and makes a big difference in keeping our HQ running well.

Sunday Duty Patrol starts at 10:30 and lasts for about 1½ hours. Where there is a Church Parade on the same day, duty patrol will start on completion.

Wear old clothes that you can clean in. Please let your PL/DL and section leader know if you can’t attend.
