About Me
Border Kayak & Canoe Club (SCIO)
Welcome to Border Kayak & Canoe Club which comprises members drawn from all areas of the Scottish Borders ..... and beyond!
For anyone unfamiliar with the term SCIO, it means the Club is formally recognised as a Scottish Charitable Incorporporated Organisation. The club is also affliated to the Scottish Canoe Association (SCA) which is the National Governing Body for Canoeing and Kayaking in Scotland.
What we do
We are a family-oriented club, looking to make the most of the fantastic paddling locations in our region.
We welcome new members, whether you have never paddled before, tried it a good few years ago and are keen for another try or are a seasoned paddler already.
Learn in a safe pool environment and get your water confidence and skills up before heading out on a trip on the sea, river or Loch. From children to pensioners everyone can find kayaking and canoeing both adventurous and fun.
Contact the Club via the form for more information.
Safeguarding
At BKCC, we try to be as inclusive as possible, encouraging members to develop their skills and to grow and improve.
Besides a robust safety culture, we take great care that no-one should ever suffer from any form of abuse or bullying while involved in Club activiites.
We have a designated Child Welfare and Protection Officer who would be the first point of contact over any concerns as to welfare and protection, particularly for Children and vulnerable Adults. Club Coaches and coach-helpers are obliged to register on the PVG Scheme (for Scotland) or DBS (for England) before working with Children or vulnerable adults.
The Child Welfare & Protection Officer is Marie MacKechnie, she can be contacted by emailing [email protected]
