Sea Scouts are a brilliant thing, i was in them for many many years and throughly enjoyed all the aspects of it
We did stuff like canoeing, rowing using a sixareen (larger and heavier than a yoal), using rescue boat with outboard, sailing mirrors
during my time we were away in places like lochgoilhead mainly doing water based activites and regularly joined up with a scout group from inverness.
one of the main highlights i was part of was taking two weeks on a training ship on the south coast of england where we worked along side the crew and learned all kinds about life at sea!
Great experience for myself as i ended up working in the merchant navy....as did a few others
We also did camping and the regular things scouts did.
In my opinion the scouts is far more interesting than the likes of the boy brigrade, purely for the outdoor nature of the things the sea scouts do.
its a real shame the lodberrie is being taken away from them! it was a good place to meet and moving there in the spring was really a highlight for the summer!
hopefully some arrangement is found!
