3rd Chalkwell Bay Sea Scouts

First Aid Course
2023-01-28 09:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | The Den, Victoria Wharf, High Street, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 2EN, United Kingdom
Full RYA First Aid course which will satisfy the RYA Instructor and Scout Association First Aid Course requirements. Book here.

This is a ‘marine focused’ first aid course, but we will adapt to try and make it more suitable for our young peoples age ranges and the many opportunities which we provide to these young people.

Priority will be given to those who require training for permit and leadership roles, and further dates will be added in due course if required. If you have previously completed RYA first aid training please book the refresher course on Tues 14 and 21 Feb to make sure there is sufficient space available on the full course.

If you are unable to book onto this course due to it being full, then please e-mail CMcHugh@3rdCB.org.uk so additional courses can be arranged if required.

Sunday Duty Patrol
2023-01-15 10:30 - 12:00 | 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.

Young Leader Training

Monthly Young Leader training sessions open to all Explorer Scout Young Leaders within 3rdCB and across Southend West District on the second Tuesday of each month (unless advertised otherwide).

The Explorer Scout Young Leaders’ Scheme is the training programme for Young Leaders. It contains 11 modules and four missions for them to work through whilst volunteering in their chosen section. Modules give Young Leaders the skills and knowledge to be successful in their role, while missions allow them to put everything into practice with support.

As well as developing valuable life skills, the scheme is an opportunity for Explorers to make a positive impact in their communities and to fulfil the service elements of many of the top awards in Scouts, or their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Recognition of achievement is available along the way, and on completion of the Scheme, the Young Leader is awarded with an Explorer Scout Young Leader belt buckle.

The obligatory mince pies and refreshments will be served after the Service.
We usually get a full house and have had enormous selections of gifts donated in the past, please make the same excellent effort this year too and as always, your contribution is much appreciated.
After the service there is Sunday Duty Patrol for Stormy Petts and Whales.
