Good Afternoon

 Group Leaders,  scouters,  rover crew members , leaders in Girl guides , scouting Boat owners & parent helpers

                            Yes,  we are at the pointy end of another very successful Sailing / water activity season. Some groups have now stored their equipment away until October 1st,  which I believe will be the start of our next “  summer  “ season of water activities and sailing.    Trying to get qualifications at the start of the season is usually difficult therefore we have scheduled 2 training  / accreditation courses now that the season has concluded & also before the weather becomes uncomfortable.

                       Saturday  April 15th /  Sunday April 16th is a scout power boat course run at G&SWAC for 8 candidates , currently 3 have applied to do the course.  It is the weekend after Easter which we thought would be achievable as some leaders do go away with their families at Easter.  ( “   Please remember a scout power boat course is required to be passed before you can use a Power boat at a scout activity  “ ) 

                        Saturday  May  6th is a Scout VHF Marine radio course,  a 1 day course also at G&SWAC,  now a compulsory requirement for those leaders wanting to become scouting adventurous Activity Guides (  any person using a VHF Marine Radio  MUST hold a VHF License, a once only lifetime license fee is part of the  $ 140 fee )  to date everybody doing the course has passed ( The written examination paper is sent to & corrected /  passed in Tasmania ) .     Sunday, May 7th,  Philip is running an additional 1 day VHF radio course for yachting club / rowing / kayaking club members, those not involved in scouting , however if the Saturday course does not suit scouting people,  a seat on the Sunday course could be found.   12 seats on both days are available.

All leaders  / crew members etc are encouraged to book in & do this course.   For those travelling long distances, accomodation can be made available at G&SWAC. please let myself or Barbara ( bna...@gmail.com  )know before hand.  

Please pass on this information to those members within your groups / crew’s / organisation etc.  Training / qualifications are an important requirement for all leaders as we continue to improve & provide quality programs to our youth members.

NB  /  Some Rover  / Venturer crews are planning extended sailing journeys in the coming months, achieving their VHF marine radio VHF Qualification prior to this,  will be a box tick off on the risk assessment they submit.  VHF Marine licensing for communication is also essential for remote water based camping, extended sailing journeys etc ,  Bunga Arm being a good example.   Please forward this email to those not included as some addresses are not in my data base. 

Bookings are essential.

As always. YIS. 

Thanking You
