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.
