2019 Water Activity Bookings NOW OPEN - Why not book NOW?

Latest version of the 'Water Diary' now on line

The Water Activities Team have opened up the bookings for the Paddlesport, Sailsport and Windsurfing events for 2019 including the Bellboating in York in May.  

Bookings are now opened for the evening sessions of Bellboating at Boroughbridge between the 4th June and 19th July and also the Nautical skills days in May.

Please be aware that bookings are open for almost everything and, as it is now FEBRUARY you should be planning what events you wish to participate in - and also tell your young people that they can book direct - and HOW EASY IT IS!!! 

Once again we have planned an "Open Day" at Ellerton for Leaders and Permit holders to enable new (and old) leaders to find out what we have to offer, pencil in the date now - 23rd March.

Also new for this year is a training day for those who wish to deliver the Dragon Boat badge on the 31st March the details of which are being finalised now. The day will follow the Bellboat permit training day on the 30th March.

There are still plenty of places for April on some events and it will soon be closing dates for those events!!! 

Please keep watching out for new events being added during the next few months.

All looks good - and plenty of variety!

January 2019 - North Yorkshire's "200 Club" Winners

In North Yorkshire Scouts we are fortunate enough to have a lot of adult leaders who are qualified to instruct our Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts, Scouts and Explorer Scouts in various outdoor activities pertaining to their age ranges.

To allow our young people to enjoy the myriad of exciting Scouting activities costs us a lot of money - joining our 200 Club is one of the ways that YOU can help us to achieve our goals

If you join our 200 Club - HALF the money you pay quarterly goes in PRIZES and the other HALF goes towards our County Scout Funds - this is a way of raising money for North Yorkshire Scouts AND allows YOU the the possible thrill of winning one of the ten prizes in our Monthly Draw - EVERY MONTH!

We DO need your help - numbers of members participating are reducing and, therefore, so is the money we can add to our County Scout Funds. PLEASE join and help if you can! 

If you are interested in finding out more about the Draw (or joining it) please contact David, our County Secretary, at the County Office NOW!

ARE YOU SUPPORTING US??
