Water Programme
The Water Programme Team run activities such as kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, rafting, canoeing, Standup Paddleboarding and bell boating. Most events are at our Water Activity Centre at Ellerton Park. 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.

Please note that we are currently unable to book more than one place for an event, if you wish to book for a Group please book one place and then send an email to waterbookings@nys.org.uk stating how many places you require and we will adjust the number of places.
All enquiries for events on the County Calendar, except bookings already made, should be sent to David.Wilkinson@nys.org.uk and any enquiries regarding bookings already made for events should be sent to waterbookings@nys.org.uk
