HC Deb 17 July 1984 vol 64 c128W
Sir Patrick Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what are the numbers of Admiralty-recognised Sea Scout troops; and whether there are any records of the numbers of such scouts joining the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy.

Mr. Lee

There are currently 101 Royal Navy recognised Sea Scout groups with a total of approximately 5,000 scouts. In 1983–84, 70 former scouts joined the Royal Navy and 22 former scouts joined the merchant service in that year.
