6th Gainsborough Sea Scouts opens new explorer group for teenagers

Teenagers are embracing their sense of adventure since the opening of a new youth group.

The 6th Gainsborough Sea Scout Group has launched a new Explorer Unit so its 14 to 17-year-olds can continue their scouting journey.

Since its launch the group has taken part in archery, baking, camping, cooking, crate stacking, kayaking and paintballing. Their future plans include a narrowboat trip and a triathlon.

Lead volunteer Jonathan Swatton said: “The young people will learn skills such as teamwork, leadership, independence, resilience, responsibility, and self-confidence. They will also have a tremendous amount of fun and will be able to do activities they have not done before.”

The group is keen to attract new volunteers. To find out more email Christopher.wright@gainsboroughscouts.org.uk
