We are the 97th sea scouts of Hamilton. We started in 1961 by Mr. A. Langridge, a former sea scout in Britain. It has always seemed incongruous to have sea scouts located on the Hamilton mountain. However, our sea based is at Hamilton Harbour on a site shared by all Hamilton sea scouts' continuous activity along with the 97th Cubs, the 97th Ventures (on occasions), and the 97th Beavers attests to the success of the leaders and group committees over the years. the history of the 97th Scout Group is another subject.

We meet every Wednesday at the church of the Resurrection. We have four leaders there names are Norman Stacey, Andrew Brown, Andrew Craxsford, and Robert. There are 12 scouts Ben, David, Eric, Erin, Jason, Daniel, Jason, Cory, Adam, Andrew, Brandon, Rigel, and Trevor. We go on lots of camping trips, mostly to camp Nemo in Burlington. We also go to Fort George, BobCaygeon and every two years we go to the Jamboree in Sarnia. And once we went to Thunder Bay. We also do lots of activities like: dragon boat racing, canoeing, and kayaking. We do lots of fundraising for our troop money and to help pay for the Jamboree we go to. The fundraising we do is: apple day, car washes, and pop cans. Every year we also have our annual banquet. This is where we hand out the scout of the year award. The scout of the year award is presented to the best scout we had over the last year. This started in 1965. We also give out medals to the leaders for helping with scouts of 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, and 40 years. After we eat we normally entertain the adults with some skits, songs, or cheers
