Paddlesports Activity Permit Training Weekend (sorry fully booked)
GLMW is running a paddlesports training weekend at Bury Lake in Rickmansworth run over the weekend of 14th and 15th May 2022. The course will include the British Canoeing Foundation Safety Rescue Training (“FSRT”) award. The weekend is very participative and candidates will spend most of their time either on, or in the water, paddling in a variety of craft (kayak, canoe and SUP) and practicing rescue techniques. Please come prepared to get wet and have loads of fun!
The course is not intended for complete beginners and whilst participants don’t need a formal qualification, they should be confident being on the water in a kayak or canoe, paddling at, or above, the level of the British Canoeing Discover Award. Please see Paddle Awards – British Canoeing Awarding Body.
On successful completion of the course to a suitable standard, candidates can apply for a ‘Scout adventurous activity permit’. The permit will be restricted based on the ability of the candidate.
The cost is £150 per person.
This course is currently fully booked. If you would like register your interest in future courses, please email geoff.vanderplank@glmwscouts.org.uk
