Andersons Bay Sea Scouts

Open Day Sunday 3rd November 11am to 3pm

Come on down and check us out. Go for a ride in a boat, grab a sausage and see what we get up too.   If you have ever wondered what Sea Scouts is about then this is the time to come along and find out more.  First boat shed on Portobello Road, with the red roof, look out for the flags.

———————————————————————————————-

Andersons Bay Sea Scouts is a disfunctional, boring and not very fun group. We think that kids should be wrapped in cotton wool, they should not go camping or outside at all for that matter. They have a policy that all kids should stay inside and have no fun.
