    All canoe and kayaks must be inspected annually in accordance with Scout H.Q. guidelines. Our level 3 coaching team offer a service to examine your craft in accordance with the regulations and subsequently provide a certificate and boat sticker free of charge. The inspection should be done by County personnel every 3 years, and the interim years can be approved by yourselves. The appropriate certificate should be completed and submitted to the County secretary annually.
