If you have an outdoor active Scout or Explorer troop/unit then building and manoeuvring your own homebuilt raft is a must on your summer programme. In order to fulfil this challenge on B1 waters POR requires your leaders to hold an appropriate Activity Permit.
Unlike sailing, pulling or canoeing there is no national body for this activity, so 14 years ago we developed a training programme and check list to comply with the requirements of POR. We have a team of County Assessors who are all keen water sports enthusiasts and know the benefits of running water activities for scouts.
We now have 2 complete sets of Rafting barrels, spars and ropes at Benjamin Perry available for hire at the same rate as a kayaking session.
We can also advise you on how to organise safety cover and help you gain permits for your chosen safety craft, for example kayaks.
