In that time he’s given hundreds of young people the opportunity to learn the values of Scouting – integrity, respect, care, belief and cooperation – whilst introducing them to traditional Scouting skills and whole raft of nautical activities, from sailing and kayaking to power boating and narrow boating.

A key part of Paul’s role is to encourage the 1st Cleethorpes members to go on and explore these activities in more depth. He makes introductions to clubs and instructors in the area so the young people can develop their skills even further. The Group is also part Royal Navy Recognition Scheme, meaning the Sea Scouts can take part in official Royal Navy training and activities.
