Bayside Sea Scouts
The aim of Scouting is to encourage the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of young people so that they can take a constructive place in society as a member of their local, national and international community.
Who are we?
Historically Sea Scout Groups differed from regular Scouting Groups through their location, uniforms, customs and activities. Nowadays, new Sea Scout Groups are no longer formed and remaining Sea Scout Groups are functioning largely as regular Scout Groups. The Bayside Sea Scout Group was formed in 1953 and we are proud of our Sea Scout heritage and try to keep the Sea Scout spirit alive.
We uphold the Scout Law and Scout Promise as established by Scouts Australia.
The Bayside Sea Scout Group participates in a range of activities and aim ‘to encourage the physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual and character development of young people so that they take a constructive place in society as a member of their local, national and international community.’ Our mission is to create an atmosphere of team-work, support and encouragement.
