Below you will find videos for hints and tips on how to work the system. If you have any queries or problems, please get in touch with the SCA team on 01887 292040.
Some events are only open to Members, others have discounts for members, or a 'day/event' membership fee for non members.
Members of other National Associations can also benefit as 'members' for these events. However, as the Paddle Scotland site is not linked to live membership information from other Nations we require you to add evidence of your membership as a credential.
You'll now be able to enter the event.
Note - this step will need to be repeated after your next membership renewal.
It is acceptable to use the same email address for multiple members (e.g. if multiple family members use a single email address). However, it is not possible to have the same username (used to log in). Therefore, edit the username field to firstname.lastname. If this is rejected (because someone else already has this username), add some numbers to the end of the username to make it unique.
An email is required for all records. This is important so the individual can access their record, manage their own data, enter events, manage communication preferences and so on. However, if you really do not know an email for someone, enter noemail@canoescotland.org as the email address and edit the username to firstname.lastname. If this is rejected (because someone else already has this username), add some numbers to the end of the username to make it unique.
Once the club secretary completes the registration of an Club Associates, one email is sent to the person confirming they have been registered with SCA and explaining they are insured for club approved activities only. The purpose of this is to ensure the individual is aware the SCA holds their data and to avoid confusion about insurance coverage.
One further email is sent the day after club associate status has lapsed, if not already renewed by the Club Secretary.
This means the individual is linked to the club but does not have an active SCA membership or Affiliated Club Membership. They are therefore not insured to be involved in club activities.
Click on the ‘No membership’ circle at the top of the page to identify those people then open their record and add a membership.
The system will check if the new record you are trying to create matches an existing record. If it matches surname, date of birth and postcode, an alert will be shown instead.
Members will only show own your list once the person has clicked on the link in the email sent to them. This ensures club secretaries do not have unauthorised access to records. You may need to prompt the individual separately to click on the link.
Add Existing member is used to link a record for a person already in the SCA database. This may include current or former SCA members, current or former club members from your own club or any other club, or any person who has taken part in SCA events or courses. Once you enter the combination of two pieces of information, an email will be sent. If they do not have an email address, please contact SCA office.
