Sea Scout group

MEMBERS of 3rd Cardigan Sea Scout Group have had a busy term across the sections including organising and participating in hikes, camps, backwoods cooking, indoor craft activities, first aid, swimming and game playing. Practical activities have included slacklining, pioneering and circus skills.

The scouts and explorer scouts have enjoyed a number of camps and all sections have participated in fun and action packed weekends away youth hostelling with other scout groups from across the county. All sections participated in Cardigan’s lantern parade with other youth groups and organisations and have been doing their part for the community including participating in Cardigan’s Remembrance Day parade, running a Christmas craft stall at Cardigan Fair, running a public fireworks display, bag packing and fund-raising at local supermarkets and Christmas carol singing.
