22 February 2026 - Come try sailing day (SOLD OUT)
About
The Sea Scout Groups would like to invite groups to our next Come and Try Sailing day on Sunday 22 February 2026.
There will be a morning and afternoon session provided at Lake Tuggeranong and Lake Ginninderra. The sessions will run for 3 hours to enable us to teach you how to rig/de-rig boats, safety and learn some skills. At the end of the session you should meet all (or most) of the requirements of an OAS 2 - Boating.
ACT Sea Scouts pride themselves the event is mainly run by the youth members providing the skippering and training, a great showcase of youth led, adult supported so Groups must provide leaders to supervise their youth members when not on the water.
What you need to bring
a collared shirt, long sleeve is a good idea for sunsmart, lightweight pants, length depending on weather, lightweight rain jacket, for both the rain and water spray, jumper, old shoes for the boat or water shoes, tie on hat, sunscreen, a full change of clothes and shoes
To register your interest please email me with your preferred session time and number your group would like to attend. We are limited with our numbers so the event will be limited to non-sea scout groups and allocated in the best way we can fit the most people in.
Any questions or difficulty with numbers please contact me.
Obviously we need to be conscious of our numbers so asking groups to book.
