10th Richmond Sea Scouts
The 10th Richmond Sea Scouts have been providing local youth with opportunities to develop social, personal and community skills continuously since 1957. Following the Canadian Path program as developed by Scouts Canada, our youth develop into well rounded, active participants in our community. The program helps them become helpful, considerate and kind young citizens. With more than 80 active members from Beavers, to Venturers, to Adult Scouters, the 10th Richmond Sea Scouts are a vibrant community group in Richmond. The 10th will be displaying the recently restored Woggle at this year’s Richmond Maritime Festival.

For the festival, we’ll offer information on smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, fire code specifics, marine safety, and bylaw information. We’ll also promote our website, the first of its kind in British Columbia, which provides all of the above information 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in 170 different languages.
