Welcome to 4th Thorpe Bay & Patriot ESU. Our aim is to give young people from six to eighteen the opportunity to build Skills for Life.

Welcome to 4th Thorpe Bay & Patriot ESU

4th Thorpe Bay Scout Group is one of the largest groups in the Southend Estuary District, with Beavers, Cubs and two Scout sections. Patriot ESU allows members of fourteen years to continue their Scouting journey as Explorer Scouts. The group currently has over 90 young people enjoying all the fun and adventure that Scouting brings.

We offer new and challenging experiences designed to push young people out of their comfort zones so they can truly learn and develop whilst also making long-lasting friendships. Our programmes are designed around the young people’s interests and needs in order to ensure they are fun and engaging so they can get the best out of scouting, potentially leading to the top awards.

We are an extremely popular group and our numbers are constantly increasing, so if you have a young child interested in joining, we encourage you to add them to our waiting list early to ensure they get a place.

The King continues a long tradition of the monarch giving their Patronage, dating back to 1912. This was when Scouts was granted its Royal Charter and HM George V became our first Patron.
