Guardianage anyone?

As a Sea Scout Leader, I'm just looking at that comment thinking that the Risk Assessment I'd have to write would be horrendous, not to mention getting permission from the District Commissioner, avoiding flak from parents who are incensed that the Scouts have to 'do' something outside of a Scout evening and then the obvious Scout trampling all over someones precious boat makes me go all cold and shivery.

20 years ago it would have been a cracking idea.

You have my sympathy. I vaguely thought about offering to help at my local troop, having spend many years as a Sea Scout in my youth, but one quick glance at POR was enough to send me screaming for the hills. They really don't trust you lot very much, do they?

Nanny State sadly.
However, sadly the children are starting to display risk averse tendencies as well now. And getting them to participate when competing against the myriad of extra curricular activities they do, means that these days we get them once a week and often not that one regular basis.

I've noticed kids being more risk averse than I ever was - are we raising a generation of wooses?

Berthon in Lymington used to do this. Not sure if they still do.

I was recently thinking about moving my boat, a 36’ AWB, to the Solent, but was concerned about it being looked after.

I looked online for a guardianage service but couldn’t really find one, and of the ones I found none have bothered to reply to emails as yet.

Is guardianage common in the Solent?

Have I even spelt it correctly?

Anyhow I thought a poll may be worthwhile, so here goes my first attempt….. I have tried to make it so that you can select more than one option.

Can be arranged with no probs in Gosport
