The Scottish Canoe Association is the National Governing Body for Canoeing in Scotland. We are a membership organisation comprising around 3200 individual members including 1,750 qualified coaches.
We have a network of affiliated clubs and approved paddlesport providers throughout Scotland offering a range of canoe disciplines.
The active SCA membership is supported by a small team of staff in the areas of: Coaching & Devleopment, Performance and Administration. The SCA is also a founding member of British Canoeing (formally known as British Canoe Union).
