Membership Benefits

SCA Membership Benefits in more detail

  • Scottish Paddler Magazine

    Scottish Paddler is the SCA's official magazine, sent to all Full, Recreational and Junior members four times per year. It contains trip reports, news and event information from across Scotland.


    Please note only Scottish residents will receive a printed copy in the post; overseas members will receive a digital copy.

  • Craft Insurance - Optional for Full or Junior Members

    When you take out a Full or Junior membership, you can choose to purchase an optional craft insurance policy. 


    Your Scottish Canoe Association membership includes cover for your Third Party Liability but not cover for any damage to your own craft.


    Based on members' feedback we have reviewed our craft insurance offering to continue to improve our service to you as members. 


    We are now moving craft insurance providers from Towergate to Noble Marine. We feel this offers several benefits to members including:


    1. An improved customer experience 

    2. The ability to purchase craft insurance at any time rather than it being linked to your membership join/renewal date 

    3. Cover that can accommodate most types of watercraft under a single policy

    4. When purchasing, members will have bespoke and individual policy/documentation rather than being part of a block policy 

    5. A bespoke member's discount is automatically applied as part of your journey


    To generate a quote, please visit www.noblemarine.co.uk/boat-insurance/scottish-canoe-association


    If you have your membership and craft insurance set to auto renew (e.g. via direct debit), the craft insurance element will not be renewed and will end on your membership expiry date.  You will need to obtain a quote from Noble Marine or another insurance provider.  


    Any member who has purchased the craft insurance option prior to 29th February will continue to be valid until the expiry of membership. 


    For any questions about craft insurance, please contact hello@canoescotland.org

    How to make a Claim with Towergate


    If you have purchased craft insurance as part of your membership and you would like to make a claim, you should contact Towergate Insurance for a claim form and instructions. 


    This should be done as soon as reasonably practicable after the occurrence:


    Telephone: 0330 018 2292

    Email: marineclaims@directgroup.co.uk

    In writing: Specialist Personal Lines, Direct Group, PO Box 800, Elland, HX1 9ET


    Telling Towergate about a claim 


    If you have an accident or loss you might want to claim for under the policy, you must advise them as soon as possible with as much information as possible. 


    You must tell the police about any theft, attempted theft, vandalism, malicious damage or loss of your craft.

  • Kayak Session - Optional for Full or Junior Members

    The SCA has partnered with the publishers of international white water magazine Kayak Session to offer special subscription rates to SCA members.
