I thank all who have shown interest to date in the VHF Marine Operators Course and SROCP Assessment to be conducted on Sat 6 May 2023. As Davo has already mentioned, I intend to run the same course on Sun 7th of May for the Sailing Associations so if Saturday is problematic, please drop me a note and we may be able to work out something here. I should mention the minimum age of 16 years as this is frequently queried. This age limit is an international thing and is enforced by ACMA / AMC. Sorry to our younger Scouts and Venturers but not something we control.
The course is up on the Scout Extranet and may be fond via the training page, but you need to scroll down past all the pictures to the blue button "Register for Training Course".
You may short cut and go directly to the TR1 form https://www.vicscouts.asn.au/Training//Registration/default.php
The quickest way to find it is to use the [Search Courses] link - Course ID is 106934. If you really get lost, I can talk you through it.
I caution you that some of the training manuals that can be found online are very out of date. Our Training Books and Assessment packs are the current material and come directly from Australian Maritime Collage in Tasmania. Recently we have experienced some delays in packing and postage so please register before 14 April to ensure we can get your training resources mailed to you directly from AMC. Registering before 14 April also ensures we have your exam pack for the date of the training.

Subject: Power boat Course April 15th / 16th 2023 also a VHF Marine Radio course May 6th
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
Davo
