Tasmanian Scout Guide Regatta

The largest combined Scout Guide event in Australia

12 - 14 March, 2011 at Snug

It’s that time again … all the fun and excitement of the Regatta!

Forms and Information for Leaders

Please talk to your youth members and enthuse them about the Regatta.  (Remember that participants need to be at least 10 years old).

Look for the information published in Action (Guides) and/or the Branch Newsletter (Scouts). Talk to other Leaders who know the ropes.

If you would like to discuss any aspect of the Regatta, email Rod Viney or Lyn Muir - sg.regatta(at)tas.scouts.com.au - or ring 62294700.

After reading the Essential Information for Registering, fill in the Registration form . The Leader Record form is to help you with the paperwork.

You don’t need to bring boats or have expertise in water activities. Many events are shore based and you can share equipment with other troops.  Participants can ‘have-a-go’ at patrol boat rowing, kayaking or sailing in Pacer dinghies – the Regatta makes craft available and provides experienced help. 

For youth members

The Regatta is about taking part, having fun, socialising and making new friends.

You get the chance to try lots of different water and beach activities. You don’t have to win or be really good at anything. You choose which events you want to enter.

After all the fun at the beach, evening activities include outdoor and indoor films and a disco.

You don’t have to cook your own food - there is central catering.

You get a souvenir pennant and great memories.

For parents

Parents have a great time at the Regatta. You can participate in Leader/Parent events if you wish, and the Regatta relies on you to help with the running of events.

A good option is to camp with your troop/unit and be part of the Regatta catering.  Alternatively, you can camp nearby in the grounds of St Johns Church.  If you wish to book accommodation in the Snug area, you will need to do so soon.
