We had a tremendously successful season in 2011 thanks to the many units who came along for fun and interest. We were fully booked up even before our season started – so leaders need to book promptly this year (bookings open 1^st March 2012)!

A brand new new boat is on order for 2012 and we have trained three more volunteer Instructors to add to our team of enthusiastic Scouters and Guiders.  So this year we hope to exceed the number of 'fun' sessions and activity badges we put on last year.

Don't forget we are also able to arrange Saturday courses for Pulling and Seaman activity badges and other awards, included DofE.  Minimum age is 11 years (or Scout Section membership). Adult parties - SAS, Network units or even Group/District Execs - are always welcome. Participants should be able to swim 50m – not that we ever go swimming!

Please contact John Jones, Pulling Adviser (email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )if you need advice or look at the Club website for detailed information about bookings and programme: avonscouts.org.uk/boatclub

It really is something new and exciting – and a quite different way of viewing Bristol! All sessions start at Benjamin Perry Water Activities Centre, Phoenix Wharf, BS1 6TJ.

Bookings for evening fun sessions (7 - 8.30pm) open on 1^st March for sessions commencing w/b 23^rd April. Courses run on Saturday mornings. Apply by email to:
