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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can also advise you on how to organise safety cover and help you gain permits for your chosen safety craft, for example kayaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please contact County Traditional rafting advisor Tony Clutten on tonyc27890@gmail.com<\/a> or telephone 07525224521<\/p>\n\n\n\n
