Applications now open for Summer Sailing Courses

Group News

Following the successful completion of the sailing courses last summer we will be running the courses again in 2016.

There are a limited number of places on each weekly course, and because we wish to give our scouts first preference, we need to gauge the level of interest among scouts before we open the courses to other sea scout troops. Therefore we would ask that all interested scouts/parents fill in the online form with the relevant information as soon as possible. This course is only available to registered Scouts and Ventures.
