Hey I’m Bex, an Explorer Scout from St. Helens District in Merseyside. In about 2 days, I’ll be setting off on a Tall Ship Voyage on board the Stavros S Niarchos. This will be my first time sailing on a ship and I’m super excited. However, I’m also nervous about how quickly I’ll pick up the terminology and how well I will do, but I guess I’ll hopefully improve as the voyage goes on. Continue reading “Bex Readies for Sea”
The three Explorers – Bex, Emma and Rachel – successfully applied to the Deep Sea Scouts Tall Ships Bursary 2016 competition and were selected following an interview on board the ship. Continue reading “Explorers set course for Tall Ships Adventure”
The Deep Sea Scouts Tall Ships Bursary competition for a place on a Tall Ships Adventures voyage has now closed. Thank you to those who entered. We hope to announce the winners in the near future.
The Deep Sea Scouts now have a Google Calendar including national and local events
The calendar includes colour-coded ‘General DSS’ national events, ‘Local Scouting’ events, ‘Peace Light‘ events and ‘Wogglemania‘ events.
DSS members who would like to contribute to this calendar should contact the DSS webmaster. Non-members who would like to request support from the DSS for an event should contact the DSS Manager. You can contact both via the contact form.
The Deep Sea Scouts have launched a discussion group on the Escouts community forum
The new DSS group on Escouts provides a way for members to discuss topics and issues in an easy to use forum structure.
Members of the DSS and anyone interested in becoming involved in the DSS are welcome to join the discussion group. You’ll need to first register with Escouts to create your user account, unless you already have one. Please take a look at the Escouts community rules and frequently asked questions.
Then visit the Deep Sea Scouts NSASU discussion group page, click on the ‘Group Tools’ drop-down menu on the right-hand side of the page and select ‘Join Group’. The discussions in the group are only visible to group members and you’ll need to wait until a moderator approves your request to join before you can view and post.
If you require any support accessing Escouts, please feel free to contact the DSS webmaster via the contact page.
The new Deep Sea Scouts website has been launched – www.deepseascouts.org.uk
There are no Champagne bottles being smashed for this naming ceremony though, as the website is quitely soft-launched by our new webmaster. If you have ideas or suggestions for content or website improvements, please contact webmaster@deepseascouts.org.uk
