STA agrees Scouts partnership

By Matthew Campelli    01 Dec 2016
Dave Candler said the initiative would give more youngsters the opportunity to swim

A host of water safety education resources and swimming-related activities will be made available for The Scout Association after the body signed a three-year deal with the Swimming Teachers’ Association (STA).

The STA has also offered free online CPD training for swimming teachers aiming to become Swim Scout Assessors, who oversee Scouts trying to achieve their Swimmer Staged Activity Badge.

According to Dave Candler, the chief executive of the STA, the initiative will “open up opportunities” for Scouts to earn the swim badge.

“This partnership provides a fantastic opportunity for the STA, as part of its charitable objectives, to reach and engage with the Association’s young members, and teach them about the importance of learning to swim and how to be safe in and around water,” added Candler.

Anna Weston, corporate partnerships account manager at The Scout Association, said learning the skills could “save the lives” of some of its young members.

She added: “This partnership provides a fantastic opportunity for our membership, with STA aiming to make it even easier for young members to learn the essential skill of being able to swim and behave safely around water.”
