No wind, no problem! It was really calm in #OldLeigh today, so instead of sailing we took the power boats to #Southend for ice cream and donuts, training power boat handling, and getting a good rush of adrenaline! #Scouts #SeaScouts #Powerboating #SkillsForLife #ThamesEstuary

The #SeaScouts were working on the #Scientist badge tonight, doing experiments involving setting fire to things (themselves!), and making things blow up. No Scouts were harmed during these experiments. Also invested 8 new Scouts, making their promise to do their best

The #Explorers got creative at our ingredient swap 🍳 Congrats to Lola’s team for winning with sausage & chips 🏆👏 …though garlic & herb Philly + corned beef toasties won’t be catching on anytime soon 😅🤣 #Scouts #SkillsForLife
