Group Leaders

Canals and rivers offer exciting and imaginative ways to inspire your group. They are easily accessible, great places for hikes and to demonstrate badge work and challenges.

Canal & River Challenge Badge

Experience all that our waterways have to offer through our Challenge Badge. Suitable for Girlguiding and Scouting groups.

Our volunteers lead FREE visits to waterways across England and Wales. They deliver fun, hands-on activities as well as teaching children the importance of water safety.

We can also visit your club house or meeting place if you are unable to get to the canal.

Rainbows - Girlguiding Challenge Badge

We have had a number of fun evenings at Fradley Junction with Beavers, Rainbows and Brownies. They have done pond dipping, water safety, diary strips and wildlife searches. The children have loved it!
