Home Scouts Rafting Evenings

Join the Scouts for evening rafting sessions at Green Withens! This exciting activity allows participants to build their rafts on dry land before putting them to the test on the water. Located at the West Yorkshire County Scouts Green Withens Watersports Centre, these sessions take place every Tuesday evening from 7pm to 9pm, starting from early May until the end of August. The cost is only £9 per person, and payment is required 28 days before your visit to confirm numbers and arrange staff. To book your group session, simply call 0330 094 8050 or email bookings@greenwithens.org.uk. It's essential that all participants can swim 50 meters, in line with Scout rules. If you have any non-swimmers who would like to participate, please discuss it with the team in advance. Please bring a complete change of clothing and a towel, as well as warm clothing suitable for water activities, as it can feel cooler on the water. Green Withens is located high on the moors, so it's important to dress warmly. Wear old trainers or similar soft footwear with socks, and consider bringing a waterproof jacket, over trousers, a woolly hat, and sun protection if necessary. Please bring your own drinks and snacks, as there is no drinking water on site. Toilet and changing facilities are available, but showers are not. Groups must be accompanied by sufficient leaders and adhere to the correct ratios as well as operate the Scout InTouch scheme. It's significant to provide all relevant contact details and health declarations. For more information or to download the ideal form for this purpose, visit [website]. Make sure to inform the team leader at Green Withens of any relevant medical information or special needs. Enjoy an unforgettable rafting experience with the Scouts at Green Withens!
