Fun, Adventure & Skills for Life (Ages 6–18+)

Sea Scouts is all about fun, friendship and adventure — from water activities and outdoor skills to teamwork, leadership and building confidence that lasts a lifetime.

Opening our expression of interest for new Members form from 9am on 27th April 2026.

This year, we are focusing first on welcoming new adult leaders to ensure we have enough volunteers to support all our groups. Once leader places are confirmed, we will begin offering youth member places from June onwards.

Why Join Sea Scouts?

Young people get the chance to:

  • Try water-based activities like kayaking

  • Build confidence, independence and resilience

  • Make great friends and be part of a supportive community

  • Learn practical life skills and teamwork

  • Enjoy regular adventures, camps and challenges

Become a Leader – Get Involved

Scouting only works because of volunteers, and being a leader is a hugely rewarding (and great fun) experience. Before being confirmed, prospective leaders meet with the Group Leader/member for an informal chat and complete Garda vetting. All leaders are required to complete training, which is provided by Scouting Ireland, alongside practical, on-the-ground support from our experienced leaders in Skerries Sea Scouts.

You’ll:

  • Be part of a welcoming, social community

  • Learn new skills (on and off the water)

  • Help young people grow in confidence

  • Get as much out of it as you put in — no experience needed

Parents: If you’re interested in getting your child involved, we strongly encourage you to also consider becoming a leader by ticking the box the form (once it is live from 27 th of June) when you apply for your child.

Non-parents: You are very welcome to join as a leader too, just email us directly to express your interest.

  • Children must be at least 6 years old by the end of October this year
