A scout group called the 201st Islington Sea Scout Group. We have been established for over 90 years. The group contains a Beaver Colony a Cub Pack and a Scout Troop. We also have a partnership agreement with the Phoenix Explorer Unit Being a Sea Scout Group we try to aim our activities more at a boating theme (especially the Scout troop), although still doing all the things other scout groups do as well. As part of the Scout Association we are governed by the rules and regulations laid down by them, including training for all our leaders (more information on this is available from www.scouts.org.uk )

There is a Group Executive Committee, which is made up of parents and friends, which in association with the Group Scout Leader, oversees the running of the Group.

If you are unsure on which section is best to join then please do ask us as there is some flexibility joining the group.

Normally we ask new recruits to come along for about a month during which time they can see what goes on and if they like it, and at the same time learn some of the history of the movement, the Law and Promise
(Beavers  Cubs Scouts Explorers ) and take part in some of the activities.

If after this period they want to remain then we ask them to formally join the Group by becoming Invested at which time they will need a uniform (see separate sheet) and will make their promise. (Beavers  Cubs  Scouts Explorers)
