INSTRUCTORS
Currently, we can arrange for instructors for the following activities:
Rafting; Climbing; Shooting; and Archery . |
|
However, these instructors are all volunteers and their availability depends on
their other commitments. We can also put you in touch with various commercial activity
providers in the local area who may be able to instruct your group whilst at Buddens.
Ask for details when booking otherwise users must provide their own activity instructors
who must hold a current Activity Permit under Scout Association rules. Instructors
with non-Scout user groups must be qualified to an equivalent standard - for details
contact the Centre Manager. |
