Andersons Bay Sea Scouts are meeting again after lockdown.
Contact Us if you are keen to enrol.
———————————————————————————————-
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.
