JML Rotary Scout is a wonderful asset available to all Scouts in the Western Cape. She is a Tosca 39 cruising yacht, moored at the False Bay Yacht Club in Simonstown.

She was launched in 1994, having been built mainly by the then Assistant Area Commissioner - Water Activities, Neville Coxon. Rotary Scout is quite accustomed to blue-water sailing – and took part in the 2000 Cape to Rio Yacht Race, as well as participating in three Governor’s Cup Yacht Races to St Helena Island.

JML Rotary Scout offers a variety of training opportunities and adventure sailing for Scouts. The Deckhand Course explains nautical terms and concepts and teaches basic sailing skills. Rotary is also available for Patrol adventures… sailing during the day and returning to harbour at night for a weekend sleepover – up to 8 people at a time. Longer trips can be made by arrangement.

There are nominal costs involved, but no Scout who cannot pay will be turned away.
