We are pleased to offer our KSCC Intro to Paddle Sports course – a six‑week programme designed to introduce scouts to the range of paddle sports available at Kingston Scouts Canoe Club.

  • Kayaking

Over the six weeks, scouts will ideally spend around two weeks on each craft type, allowing time to build confidence, basic skills and enjoyment on the water.
