Scout's Sailing Courses.

Derbyshire Area Scouts Sailing Club (DASSC)

The scouting association in Derbyshire have for some years run their own sailing club offering youngsters from the scouting movement an opportunity to take part in waterborne activities and to gain sailing qualifications. Click on the image on the right for further details.

For some years now Carsington Sailing Club have been associated with DASSC in providing qualified help, running training courses and helping to organise each year's sailing program.

In 2010, due to circumstances beyond their control DASSC found themselves looking for a new home from which to operate and approached Carsington Sailing Club for help.

The club responded with an offer of a corporate membership which DASSC accepted.

The move to Carsington Water was completed during 2010, and DASSC are now corporate members of Carsington Sailing Club.

DASSC’s training at Carsington has continued in 2011 with training courses being run on Thursday and Friday evenings each week from April to July.
The club will see some fifty youngsters taking part in sailing activities during this period.

Training courses have already been completed with scouts receiving Stage 2 and 3 training.

Many thanks go to members from the training team at Carsington who have kindly volunteered to help run these sessions.

Anyone willing to join us will be very welcome (contact Mike Stoker)
