2nd Abbotsford Sea Scouts
2nd Abbotsford 'Port Neptune' Sea Scouts, a longstanding troop in Sydney, offers dynamic programs for boys and girls aged 5 to 26. Our Scouts engage in diverse activities, from camping and hiking to extreme challenges like abseiling and sailing. With a focus on water-based adventures, such as sailing and canoeing, we create an environment where youth build resilience, independence, and lasting friendships. Beyond outdoor pursuits, Scouts participate in performing arts, leadership development, community service, and international events. We welcome diversity, including children with special needs, and believe in making learning a fun, integral part of their journey toward becoming future leaders.
