Founded in 1952, the 1st Standlake & Cokethorpe Sea Scout group is based in Standlake, West Oxon near the River Thames. We have three sections, taking boys between the ages of 6 and 10; and boys and girls between the ages of 10 1/2 and 14. The group is one of only 101 British Sea Scout groups recognised by the Royal Navy and run water activities throughout the summer. We have a variety of water activities to offer including kayaking, canoeing, sailing, and raft building! We run the activities at our local sailing club, West Oxford Sailing Centre.For more information about the RN recognition scheme please visit www.rncom.mod.uk - Youths & Cadets.
We are connected with a local secondary school Cokethorpe, near Witney, Oxfordshire. The school is used as the Beaver and Scout (winter season only) HQ, and offers support towards the enhancement of the group.
Our group runs an annual fundraising events in and around Standlake, which helps toward fundraising for new equipment and camps. Have a look at our fundraising page to see what else we do. Our next event is a Barn Dance!
In the group we have a new Beaver Colony, a well established Cub Pack and Sea Scout Troop, and a linked/partnered Sea Explorer Unit. For more information and how to contct us please navigate to the necessary section pages.
