Newbold Sea Scouts is a small, but very active scout group in the heart of Warwickshire. Being a sea scout troop our activities tend to be water-based - especially during the summer. The scout hut, despite being one of the most inland scout huts, is situated in a ideal place next to the River Stour. The river is perfect for teaching canoeing, big enough to have enough space to manouver but small enough that supervision isn't a problem.

During the summer, the scouts go out on the water every week - working towards their canoeing badges and generally messing about and having fun. Next year we aim to run a scout camp so that the scouts can learn to sail, try their hand at pulling and go canoeing on a different bit of water.

In the winter, we do more traditional scouting activities. Night hikes and outdoor cook nights are always favourites! We also use the winter to catch up on the ever-growing list of repairs that need to be done, be it boats, tents or to the hut itself.
