Sea Scouts is our section for boys & girls aged 10.5 to 14 focused on Scouting skills, but also includes water based activities such as sailing and canoeing.
At the 84th Reading Scout Group our Sea Scout Patrols meet on Fridays from 7pm to 9pm in our Scout hut near St. Peter’s Church Hall, during school term times only.
The programme offers fun filled activities both in the hall and around the community, including games, hikes, community work, outdoor adventures, water sports and sleepover camps.
If you are interested in applying for a place for your child to join our Sea Scouts, please email our Membership Secretary and we will add them to our waiting list.

Badges
Purple Membership badge and green group badges are presented when first invested.
Blue activity badges are earned in one or two sessions.
Light blue activity badges are staged badges which have a number on – when sewing on a higher number the lower number badge should be removed.
Dark blue challenge badges require many sessions to complete and when all 9 have been collected the Sea Scout will earn the Chief Scout Gold award.
Badges are awarded at our badge ceremony at the end of each half-term.
