Fellowship
Due to the decrease in shipping and the reductions in the Royal Navy, the numbers of Deep Sea Scouts fell quite dramatically, and it was decided that the organisation be replaced by a Scouting Fellowship.
The Deep Sea Scout Fellowship was started in 1991, and currently has 200 members.
The Fellowship maintains the same aims and entry requirements of its predecessor, but it also allows direct relatives of eligible members to join as long as they are active within the Scout Association, too.

Famous quotes containing the word fellowship:
“Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.”

“And sometimes I remember days of old
When fellowship seemed not so far to seek,
And all the world and I seemed much less cold,
And at the rainbow’s foot lay surely gold,
And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
“Good fellowship and friendship are lasting, rational and manly pleasures.”
—William Wycherley (1640–1716)
