Why should you
join Scouts?
The 1st Jersey (St Ouen) Sea Scout Group is the only Sea Scout Group in Jersey. Our Beaver and Cub sections follow the same programme as all other Beavers and Cubs, albeit with some water based activities being provided by our Scout Troop and dedicated leaders.
As Scouts, we believe in preparing young people with skills for life. The Sea Scouts follow the core basic scouting programme, but then add a nautical twist to their meetings and activities. The Scouts are out and about during the summer, with some additional meetings used to further develop nautical skills and seamanship.
Sea Scouting is open to everyone, regardless of ability.

Try over 200 activities
From archery and acting to kayaking and powerboating, being a Scout gives you the chance to get stuck into loads of activities you wouldn’t normally get to do.
Make New Friends
Going to your Scout meetings is a chance to meet up with your mates, have a laugh and do lots of exciting activities. You'll meet adventurous people just like you who want to do something a little different.
Have Fun
Chief Scout Bear Grylls says life is about grabbing opportunities! We agree! Above everything else, Scouting is all about enjoying yourself, whatever you're doing – and there'll always be plenty to do!
Get Outdoors
As a Scout, you get to explore the big outdoors and travel to new places and try new things. Sounds better than being stuck in the house with nothing to do, right?
Learn Exciting Things
Not many people know about the stars at night, how to sail a dinghy or make a sausage stew on a campfire, but you soon will! Scouting helps you learn lots of new and amazing skills – and you get to earn badges and rewards along the way.
Grow In Confidence
Boost your confidence, overcome your fears and learn new skills. Scouting helps to build and nurture confidence and self belief.
