Batchworth Sea Scout Group - Royal Navy Recognition There are 450 Sea Scout Groups in the UK. Of these groups, 100 are acknowledged by the Royal Navy as offering a level of training in seamanship skills and leadership skills to the standard that they demand. Soon after the start of the Second World War, Coast Guards were withdrawn and sent to sea to serve with the Royal and Merchant Navies. Sea Scout Groups from all over the country were requested to perform War Service Patrols. Tasks included setting up first aid posts, catering for the Home Guard and evacuees, and Coast Guard duties. As a direct result of our Group's work doing Coast Guard Duties the group was rewarded in 1944 by being made the 10th group in the country to be Admiralty Qualified. In 1966 the Admiralty Qualified groups were re-named as Royal Navy Recognised groups. Royal Navy Recognised groups are inspected every 18 months to ensure they maintain the high standards required. When a member of the group has been through an Admralty inspection they may wear the "Royal Navy Recognised" badge. Batchworth Sea Scout Group are very proud to say that they have retained their R.N. recognition since 1944.
Batchworth Sea Scouts are proud to have an association with HMS Cumberland (pictured on the right). Our recognition by the Royal Navy is described on our website page Royal Navy. You can also learn about the history of Batchworth Sea Scouts on our Group History page.
