Partnership with Cokethorpe School

1st Standlake and Cokethorpe Sea Scouts have a thriving membership and a waiting list. We hold our Beaver, Scouts and Explorer weekly meetings at Cokethorpe where a wide range of activities can be delivered on-site. Set in over 150 acres of parkland, only a few miles north of Standlake village, Cokethorpe School offers the Scouts an ideal base at no cost.

The Scout troop is comprised of boys and girls aged 10 1/2 years and up from the surrounding area and is considered a valuable resource for young people in the wider community.

We identified Cokethorpe as a perfect setting for our meetings many years ago. We are a Royal Navy recognised Sea Scout group that contributes to the positive development of young people in the local area, making us a perfect partner for Cokethorpe School to support.

The Scouts use a wide range of facilities within the school grounds including a hall for activities, astroturf pitches, parkland, woods and outdoor learning areas.

We meet at Cokethorpe once a week and hold camps in the grounds and at their Outdoor Education Centre in the summer.

Many of the Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers attend local village state schools and a number also attend Cokethorpe Prep and Senior School.
