RAMSGATE SEA SCOUTS: I'm reaching out from 6th Ramsgate Royal Harbour Sea Scouts, where we're currently looking for just one or two more adults to help us lead our Beaver Scout group (ages 6–8) on weekday evenings. This is a wonderful opportunity for someone who's looking to serve their community in a fun, supportive environment. We provide full training, DBS checks, and tons of guidance — and the joy of seeing children grow in confidence is truly priceless. – Matthew Sayer, Group Lead Volunteer matthewsayer@6thramsgateseascouts.org.uk   SPIRITUALITY HOUR: Spirituality Hour continues monthly at Saint Laurence in the candlelit Beckett Chapel – refreshments at 7pm for 7.30pm, 6th August, 3rd September, 1st October
