Paddle boards
2023-08-31 • No comments • • Three Towns
The unit currently has single person paddle boards but these are unsuitable for younger persons who would not be able to operate them. The unit seeks funding to purchase large paddle boards which hold 6 to 8 young persons. This would allow more young persons to try paddle boarding.
We do not need to buy any safety equipment as we are well stocked with them. The equipment is stored in a locked garage at the scout hall.
Ardrossan Parent Council

Our Transition Programme is split into 3.
- Good Start Gift Bags
- Potted Sports Event
- Transition Disco
The Parent Council aims to support all children transitioning from primary school into Ardrossan Academy, we work in close partnership with the school to enhance opportunities for our young people. Last year the newly appointed Parent Council recognised the struggles of the cost of the school day following covid and the current cost of living crisis, the is where the idea for the 'Good Start Gift Bag' came from. It ensured equality across the whole of the year group as all pupils were issued with the Bag containing school essentials.
The bag itself is a drawstring PE kit bag,it contains a pencil case with pens, pencils, ruler, rubber, sharpener and highlighter, a reusable tub for HE lessons, a scientific calculator and a Spanish dictionary. The cost per bag is £15. The bag is gifted in May/June 2024.
The potted sports event takes place in the astro area of Ardrossan Academy, this event promotes team building and developing friendships. The children are split into their "house" which allows them to meet peers from other primary schools prior to attending classes with them. The cost of this event is £600, this covers the cost of equipment and refreshments on the day. This event takes place in May/June 2024.
The transition disco allows the children to meet in a much more relaxed environment and gives them another opportunity to meet the pupils the will be in classes with. The costs included in this event are dj hire and refreshments which are approximately £600. The transition disco will be in June 2024.
The estimated cost of the entire transition project is approximately £3000, depending on where we can source the best price for the items we require for the bags. We hope to recieve the full £1000 available from this application and will hold other fundraising events.

Most of the boys have already been supplied with a new kit, but being able to expand the team further, giving more children the opportunity to join a community team, we would need to supply kit to an extra 5 kids at a cost of £105 per person, totalling £525. This means all of the boys will match at tournaments and in playing within the leagues. Across the winter we would also like to be able to book all weather pitches or indoor facilities to allow training to continue without extra costs to our families. This will cost £120 per month, November to February, at a cost of £480. In total, we would request £1000 to cover all costs.
