How To Get Involved

For 1st / 14th Brighton Sea Scouts to continue to be a successful Scout Group, it requires strong adult support. Scouting volunteers come from all walks of life and are enthusiastic and dedicated men and women who share a love of adventure and a desire to enrich young people’s lives.

Assisting with activities.
Providing transport for Scouts to and from activities.
