1st Ferring Sea Scouts ( St Andrews )
Homepage
1st Ferring Sea Scouts have been providing the Scouting experience to the young people of Ferring in West Sussex for over 50 years. Our Group is affiliated to St Andrew’s Church, Ferring.
We are proud of our place in the local community and over the years we have built up a number of annual traditions such as the Beach Clean, Bulb Planting, Flower Boat maintenance and planting, and the Village Christmas Postal system. Our young people and their families are encouraged to join in these and other activities.
As with most Scout groups we are heavily dependent on fund raising to provide the equipment and facilities we need to provide challenging, adventurous and engaging activities for our Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. The subscriptions we receive from the young people’s families barely cover our running costs, fundraising is key to our ability to provide more than just somewhere to meet.
This being the groups 50th year we are concentrating our fundraising efforts on a hut rebuild fund. Our wooden hut is as old as the group, it will not last forever and we need to ensure we have premises capable of seeing the group through the next 50 years.
Its going to be a long journey but we have to start somewhere !
