Scottish Paddle Trips - Leaders Wanted!

Scottish Paddle Trips - Leaders Wanted!

We are relaunching the popular Scottish Paddle Trips this summer and are looking for coaches and leaders to run some awesome trips.

The trips are led by volunteers, and are publicised to members and non-members to attend. The aim of the trips are to:


  • Re-connect paddlers
  • Provide safe, fun paddlesport experiences
  • Create events for paddlers to look forward to


We are currently seeking keen coaches and leaders to become “Trip Leaders”. 


The sky’s the limit in terms of location and difficulty, as long as you are qualified or adequately experienced.


What's in it for me?

Good question! Different people have different reasons for volunteering, but as a minimum for running a Scottish Paddle Trip you can expect to:


  • Meet new paddlers
  • 'Give back' to the SCA and paddling community
  • Help other paddlers develop 
  • Run your dream trip


If you're interested in running a trip or finding out more, please visit the link below to find out more and register as a “Trip Leader”.
