Welcome to 89th Stoke Sea Scouts

The 89th Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle Sea Scouts, based in Hanford, has been a second home to our members for more than 10 years. Set up in 1932 we have expanded to offer multiple sections, who deliver activities for young people between the ages of 6 to 18 years old. Our group is part of the Three Towns District, in the South of Stoke-on-Trent and are one of the only 4 Sea Scout Groups across Staffordshire and Stoke.

As Sea Scouts, we are full members of the Scouting Movement in the UK, working towards the same badges, following the same rules and working alongside our fellow “Land” Scout groups in the district. Whilst working towards those badges we also focus on water activities, including Kayaking and Sailing.

In 1960 our group was lucky enough to be able to purchase a camping and training site on the shores of Rudyard Lake. The site offers a world of opportunity for all of our Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, and Volunteers.

Scouting helps children and young adults reach their full potential and make a positive impact in their communities. Through fun and challenging activities, Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world
