Water Activities for 2024
The Water team spent last year building up the Activities on offer and rebuilding the team post pandemic, so I am pleased to announce, although slightly later than usual, our planned activities can be found here and bookings will start to be opened in the first full week of February. Watch here for the events to appear.
For those wishing to book there will be some changes this year, firstly we are going to be able to offer both Group and Individual bookings for most, if not all events.
Secondly a reminder for those who are booking Groups that you have one month from booking , or the event closure date (whichever is the soonest), to confirm your places by paying the full amount.
All Group participant details are due no later than the event closure date, these should be submitted on the Group summary form and sent with copies of the individual consent forms. Finally we are also increasing the number of participant places wherever possible.
The Water Team
It consists of many qualified instructors who provide a wide range of water-based activities for Scouts and other young people of all ages. They also provide training opportunities for all ages – including for Leaders!

Apart from Beavers, for most activities, young people can book directly to attend any event. It isn’t necessary for any of your Leaders or parents to have to attend with you.
