First Swindon Sea Scouts

First Swindon Sea Scouts are based in the town of Swindon, in Wiltshire. We have a large and active membership of both boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 14 this is made up as follows

• A Beaver Colony for youngsters from 6 to 8 years old
• A Cub Pack for youngsters 8 to 10
• Scout Section for 10 1/2 to 14 1/2 years of age.

At 14 1/2 the youngsters move to the District Sea Explorer Unit which is attached to the Group and at 18 1/2 they can join the Sea Network Group until they are 25.

The Group has an Executive Committee of parents like you who organise fund-raising, look after the Group’s property, finances and etc.

In charge of the Group is the Group Scout Leader (GSL). He manages the Leaders and the Group Executive.

All of these adults; your child’s Leaders, Helpers and the Executive Committees which help are all unpaid volunteers. But, the postage, stationery, equipment, buildings, electricity, etc. which are need to carry out Scouting cost money. This is paid for through the subscriptions, and money raised by the efforts of the adults involved in the Group.
