Water Programme

The Water Programme Team run activities such as kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, rafting, canoeing, Standup Paddleboarding and bell boating.  Our Water Programme Team includes lots of volunteers qualified to run and teach these activities, as well as people who are there to help provide the correct equipment for Scouts volunteers.

Although many of the events are held at Ellerton Lake which is near Scorton (Catterick), several events are also held at other locations in the County during each year.

All enquiries for events on the Water Activities, except bookings, should be sent to James.Stephenson@nys.org.uk and any enquiries regarding bookings for events should be sent to waterbookings@nys.org.uk

To book Ellerton Park for events, that are not on the County Calendar, please email to waterbookings@nys.org.uk

Apart from Squirrels and Beavers, for most activities, young people can book directly to attend any event. It isn’t necessary for any of your Leaders or parents to have to attend with you!
