Farnham District Scouts Volunteer RYA Safety Boat Course

Posted on by

Volunteers from across Farnham District Scouts performed their RYA Safety Boat Course at Hawley Lake at the weekend, necessitating extensive submergence just to cool down in the blistering 30+ degree heat.

 

The five volunteers, all of whom support the district water activities programme in one form or another, trailed their skills in dinghy capsize recovery, emergency communication, canoe re-floating and Standup Paddleboard recovery amongst others.

 

Congratulations to Tony Marshall, Bill Weller, Chris Hollidge, Colin Bland and county colleague Colin Scarff who are now prepped up to perform senior dinghy instructor and powerboat instructor qualifications.

Thank you to Dominic Getting for organising the water courses.

Farnham District Scouts Volunteer Canoe and Kayaking Permit Training

Posted on by

Farnham District volunteers completed another round of Canoe and Kayak training last weekend in the sun-drenched waters of Hawley Lake, near Farnborough.

Equipped with buoyancy aids and paddles, instructors Stephen Moore, Tim Shellard and Bill Weller put the latest cohort through their paces to achieve British Canoeing’s “Explore” and “Paddle Safely” syllabus, which simultaneously enables a permit to be recommended to take up to 4 scouts each out on sheltered water.

Congratulations to the leaders and explorer young leaders on achieving their qualifications and leadership permits.

WELL DONE – Youth Proficiency Scheme (YPS) Shooting Certification Success for Scouts

Posted on by

Youth Proficiency Scheme (YPS) Shooting Certification Success for Scouts

Four scouts completed their National Small Bore Rifle Association (NSRA) grading last week, resulting in 3 x Expert Shot and 1 Skilled Shot gradings. All participants also qualify for their Scout Master-at-Arms award.

The YPS course was run over the 2022-23 season and comprised 9 modules covering the firearms law, range safety, sighting, shooting technique and scoring amongst others. This is the first cohort to complete the programme in Farnham, which can also benefit those seeking to demonstrate skills competency in their Duke of Edinburgh Award.

The scouts attended multiple air rifle and air pistol shoots at The Lord Roberts Centre (Bisley), Taylor Hall and Garners Field and also completed a taster clay shooting session at Chobham Ridges range last summer.

Many congratulations to these Top Guns!
