MEMBERS of the 1st Warsash Sea Scouts group have achieved Royal Navy recognition.

The accolade means the group can get involved in a number of new activities including the Sea Scouts football tournament, which the Explorers group have already won at the first attempt.

The voluntary group, which has about 130 members of Beavers, Cubs, Sea Scouts and explorers, meet at their headquarters in Warsash and at Warsash Sailing Club.
