Skills for Life

We help young people gain the skills they need to shine bright

The 14th Tonbridge Sea Scout Group was inaugurated in 1947 and has grown to become one of the largest groups in Kent. The Group is Royal Navy Recognised, and is an RYA Training Centre providing dinghy sailing and powerboating courses for its members.

Welcome to 14th Tonbridge Sea Scouts

The 14th Tonbridge was inaugurated in 1947 and has grown to become one of the largest groups in Kent. Its popularity has led to waiting lists for all of its sections, so apply early to get the best chance of membership.

The Royal Navy (RN) recognises 103 Sea Scout Groups, and the 14th Tonbridge has been one of these Groups since the scheme began. RN Recognition and our RYA Training Centre Status are two of the most important aspects of the Group, and are key contributors to its success and popularity.

With bases on the River Medway (in Tonbridge) and at Bough Beech reservoir, the 14th Tonbridge offers a unique opportunity for local young people and adults to participate in a wide variety of Activites afloat, as well as the traditional fundamentals of Scouting.
