2nd Beeston Sea Scouts is a unique scout group that has many opportunities for adults to become involved with a wide range of activities.
Most scout groups just have a headquarters building where activities for the young people take place.
While we do have a headquarters building, we also have a workshop, boat sheds, various boats, kayaks and canoes, and an island activity centre.
Beyond these we have also adopted a recycling centre and have stewardship of a section of the River Trent.
Helping with the young people
The core of any scout group is the young people. The section leaders always appreciate additional support from parents and other adults.
If helping with the young people is something you are interested in, more information is available.
Other opportunities
In common with all other Scout groups, we rely on fund raising to provide and maintain the building, provide the equipment for all the activities enjoyed by the Sections. Unlike most other Scout Groups, we also the costs associated with maintaining the Barton Island water activity base, and the boats, kayaks and safety equipment.
Some fund raising activities we have been organising...
Beeston Picnic in the Park
Beeston Race Night
