Our Sea Scouts will be leading the procession to Hythe Marina on evening of Thursday 6th June.
This event held by he Hythe Marina Association includes a procession of young people holding peace lamps, readings and the lighting of the beacon.
The event starts at 19:00 hrs (7pm) where you can enjoy themed music & street food before the lighting of the beacon at 21:15 hrs.
Our hut has suffered greatly from recent flood water this week during exceptionally high tides with our main deck floor lifting. We are looking at initial fixes to allow our sections to continue Scouting with a longer term solution being thought of.
We have a Just Giving page created to collect donations to directly support this urgent project. We will need to make improvements to the floor and our current flood defence. justgiving.com/campaign/hytheseascouts-floodsupport
Our first fundraising event was a huge success, all sections got involved and cycle as many miles as they could which totalled a fantastic 193 miles. Donations are still coming in but we have reached the £2,000 mark.
Our Beavers showed great teamwork at the weekend and took home the first place trophy for the District Tug of War. The day included groups from across the District including Beavers, Cubs & Scouts.
Well done to all.
4th Hythe now consist of 5 Scouting Sections from Squirrels aged 4 years old to Explorers. Every section are extremely successful and are at capacity with 100 young people across the Group & 50 on our waiting list.
Due to this success we have had to temporarily close our waiting lists for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers.
If you are able to volunteer your time as a Leader or in another key role within the Group we will be able to ensure your young person has a place in the Group.
Our Beaver colony enjoyed their first ever camp at the weekend, joined by our Cub pack who haven’t been able to camp due to Covid restriction.
They had a fun packed weekend at our Scout Hut on Shore Road including games and camp fires.
We are pleased to welcome our newest and youngest section to the Group, our Squirrel Drey are for those young people aged 5-6 years old. For more information and joining our waiting list please visit their page.
This new section brings our Group to 5 sections and its only possible with your help. All our leaders are volunteers and we thank you all for your dedication to keep the Group strong and healthy.

Volunteering
Volunteer for a rewarding cause
Are you looking for a rewarding role? We are in need of assistant leaders within our Scouting sections, give as much time as you can so our young people can continue to enjoy Scouting and learning skills for life.
Fundraising
We need you for us to succeed
Since our fundraising committee was formed in 2016, we have raised an outstanding amount of money but our work must not stop. We are looking for passionate people who are up for a challenge. We have now secured our Scout Hut from erosion, strengthened our boathouse & had our toilets completely refurbished, installed a new changing room among other projects. We have more projects which need funds so we can improve our facilities and equipment our young persons will benefit from. Please check out our fundraising page for the latest details and goals
