10th Southend Scouts (St Mark's Own)

[Lireal]

We currently have spaces available for all Sections.

Beavers (6–8) Can start at 5 & 3/4.

Beaver Scouts are our youngest members. They usually meet weekly to take part in a wide range of activities including games, crafts, singing, visits and good turns, along with plenty of outdoor activities.

They will also have the opportunity to take part in the fun and excitement of camps and sleepovers. It may be the first time they spend a night away from home so it’s a real adventure for them.

Cubs (8-10½)

A Cub Scout Pack can have up to 36 Cub Scouts and is split into smaller groups called Sixes. Cubs take part in a wide range of activities designed to be interesting and challenging. A Cub Scout meeting consists of games and activities with plenty of time spent outdoors.

Camps and holidays are some of the most memorable events of the year for Cubs.

Scouts (10½–14)

Each Scout Troop consists of small units of six to eight Scouts called a Patrol, usually led by a Patrol Leader. Outdoor activities feature prominently, with the highlight being camping. Throughout the year, Scouts learn various skills, such as map reading, camp cooking and first aid in preparation for camp.

Rock climbing, potholing, gliding, photography and international experiences are just some of the things they get up to.

We meet at St Mark's Church Hall, Princes Street, Southend on Sea.

Beavers & Cubs meet at 5.30pm until 6.45pm. Scouts meet at 7pm until 8.30pm.

Hi ya Lireal

Are you one of the leaders at 10th SOuthend?

[Lireal]

I am. I'm the Beaver leader

[Jenn]

Ah fab! Mike, my other half is part of the district team but for the Scout section (ADC Scouts) so obviously doesn't really know Beavers. Me and Mike are also the Scout leaders for the Thursday Troop at 5th Southchurch.

Have you been doing it for long - was you at the District Carol Concert? Feel so bad for not knowing as could have met you properly there! William will be a Cub after Easter so we won't be at any of the district events (apart from possibly Art Attack?) for a few years (until James is a Beaver anyway).

I've been a leader for about 18 months now. Haven't been to any District events as yet. Hoping to take the group to St Georges day with the district.

My husband used to be an Explorer leader but it now just our group sec
