NCI LEE-ON-THE-SOLENT VISITED BY LOCAL BEAVER GROUP

29th June 2022. Recently the volunteers from NCI Lee-on-the-Solent have been hosting visits by the local Stubbington groups of Beavers.

The watchkeepers have provided them with a full programme of teaching about sea and beach safety along with giving them the opportunity to discover what the National Coastwatch Institution does and how they do it. This included a tour of the station and several NCI related games. These included getting the Beavers to write their names using the phonetic alphabet, plotting bearings and ranges and being present at the lowering of the Union and NCI Flags. All of this was thanks to Deputy Station Manager John, Training Officer Tricia, Roster Officer Mary, Secretary Ian and Quartermaster Ric.

About

Currently almost 60 National Coastwatch stations are operational and manned by over 2600 volunteer watchkeepers around the British Isles from Fleetwood in the North West, through Wales, to the South and East of England to Filey in North Yorkshire. 

National Coastwatch watchkeepers provide the eyes and ears along the coast, monitoring radio channels and providing a listening watch in poor visibility. They are trained to deal with emergencies offering a variety of skills and experience, and full training by the National Coastwatch ensures that high standards are met.
