All flying has some element of risk and must therefore be regulated by the appropriate national body and undertaken in accordance with POR and under the auspices of flying/gliding, etc., clubs in the area. Contact the adviser for more details.
Members planning to undertake air activities are required to notify Scout Headquarters (tel 020 8433 7100) of their plans well in advance of the date of the activity.
Gliding and Parascending are the easiest ways to get airbourne and can be arranged locally at modest cost.
