Batchworth obtain Sea Scout Grant from Scout Headquarters
Ba
tchworth Sea Scouts are proud to be part of an elite group of Sea Scout troops who are ‘recognised’ by the Royal Navy (RN). As part of this scheme, the RN provide funding to Scout Headquarters which can be distributed to groups for the purposes of enhancing the equipment available to Sea Scouts. Earlier this summer, Batchworth were delighted to be granted £2,500 from this fund. Together with an additional £2,500 drawn from Group funds, we have recently been able to add four Canadian Canoes, paddles and buoyancy aids plus an equipment trailer to our inventory. The canoes have proven very popular and have been used many times by all four sections which meet at Batchworth.
