        One-off Sessions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        On demand we organise adult one off sessions, for example fairy light Girlguiding leader night paddles, or summer evening adult SUP taster sessions. If you would like a session organised for adults in Scouting or Girlguiding, please enquire and we will try to match you with a suitable instructor. Charges are similar to youth taster sessions, but can be charged per person rather than per group to make organisation easier.<\/p>\n<\/div>
