Welcome to our Website!

Welcome to the 1st Luton Sea Scout Group’s website.  Here, you can find out all you need to know about the group.  To view   information specifically about each section, please use the links above.

 

The 1st Luton was started in 1909 making us the longest running Scout Troop in Luton, and one of the oldest Scout Troops in the Country.

 

Sea Scouts are all part of the World Wide Scout movement. The only difference is that as Sea Scouts, we participate in water activities as well as traditional Scouting activities.

 

Sea Scouts are also inspected each year by the Royal Navy to ensure we meet their high standards. Only the top 101 troops are awarded Admiralty recognition. The 1st Luton Sea Scouts have been Admiralty recognised since 1941

 

We also have our own qualified Royal Yacht Association (RYA) and British Canoe Union (BCU) Instructors, and Royal Life Saving Society (RLSS) Life Guards.

 

The main aims of the 1st Luton Sea Scouts are for all it’s members to have fun whilst learning and developing new skills, interests and good citizenship.

Group Centenary Camp

22nd to 24th May 2009

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To celebrate our centenary year, we had a group camp at Phasel’s Wood over the bank holiday weekend in May.  14 Beavers, 22 Cubs, 29 Scouts and 7 Explorers attended the event, accompanied by 32 Leaders, making the grand total at camp 104.  As far as we are aware, this is the largest camp that the 1st Luton has ever run. 

 

The weekend was full of activities including ice-climbing, pot-holing, air rifle shooting, archery, crate stacking, ‘The Cube’ high ropes course, cresta run and the ‘Rolling Rock’ climbing wall. 

 

The weather was fantastic all weekend, helping things to run smoothly.  Catering for over 100 people was a challenge, so ex-camp cook, Norm, was recruited back to help out the new boys (Mike, Mick and Barry).  As usual, the food was excellent. 

 

All the leaders were able to get involved during activities too, allowing everyone to work together as a group.

 

The weekend was a massive success.  Thanks to everyone who attended to make it such a memorable event.
