Scouts has strict safety measures in place to ensure the highest level of safety across our activities.
All of our activity instructors at Cataract are qualified in Outdoor Education and highly experienced in operating our activities.
All staff also undertake mandatory training in child safety and WHS, as well as hold Working With Children Checks and National Police Checks.
We want to make our program as inclusive as possible, and we have experience making adjustments for a range of different abilities and requirements.
If your child has specific accommodations, please get in touch with us via email or phone before booking and we can discuss what options are available to make them feel as included as possible.
Our program will continue rain, hail, or shine!
Most of our activities can continue to run in light rain weather, and in the event that an activity is cancelled due to weather and safety reasons, we have a covered activity space with alternative activity options. Our qualified staff will make the best decision for safety on the day.
