Event information

Registration for this event closes at Thu 29 Apr 2027 09:00.

Brief Overview

Over the period 26/10/26 to 29/4/26 1st Balmoral will be undertaking a number of water-based activities (typically Tuesday and Friday evenings) centred on paddling, aquatics and water safety. Youth members will be regularly paddling canoes and kayaks on Middle Harbour in an area area bounded by Cobblers Beach in the east, Chinamans Beach in the west and up to 400 metres offshore from Balmoral/Edwards beaches, or swimming up to 50 metres off Balmoral Beach or in the Balmoral Baths enclosure.

Clothing

All participants must wear appropriate swimming and sun protection (bathers and rashie), water shoes, sun hat and personal floatation devices (PFD) for paddling events and bring a towel and warm clothes for after the activites.

Management:
Aquatics and paddling is an adventurous activity with potential, albeit manageable risks. To minimise these risks, aquatics and paddling activities will be managed by 1st Balmoral Scout Leaders.  All activities require adult helpers to move craft, support paddling and ensure safety during the activity. Participants not adhering to activity rules or instruction will be excluded from the activity.
 
Eligibility
This is open to 1st Balmoral Sea Scouts Joeys, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers only.
