Activities

The 1st Hampton Hill Sea Scout Group's aim is to provide instruction to boys and girls of all classes aged 6 to 14 in the principles of discipline, loyalty, and good citizenship, and in boating skills of all kinds, within the frame work of the Scouting Association.

For the specific activities of Cubs or Scouts, please click on the section on the left in which you are interested.

Some activities are undertaken by the Group as a whole. These include:

Family boating days

Family boating days are held at the Boathouse on the Thames about three or four times a year between May and September. They let families see the boating skills Scouts and Explorers have learnt, and let Cubs see what is involved. Members can take to the water under careful supervision, have a barbecue, and generally have a fun day out with the Group.

"Twickeree"

Twickeree, in Marble Hill House park, is a three-day jamboree of all Scout Groups in Richmond-upon-Thames District held once every three years (next in 2009).

It gives Scouts and Explorers an opportunity to display non-boating skills; to sleep under canvas for two nights; to take part in soap-box races and a gun carriage race; to meet other Scouts and Sea Scouts from the District; to encourage interested visitors to join us; and for Cubs to visit our site in the daytime to get a flavour of what senior scouting is about.

St. George's Day parade

The St. George's Day parade is held each year on the Sunday nearest to 23 April, together with members of Scout Groups from all over the District.
