For our third running of the Southern Counties Archery Youth Tour we are pleased to announce that the tour final and SCAS Junior Championships will be hosted by Harlequin Bowmen in Didcot on the final Sunday in September. Prior finals have taken place at Crystral Palace Bowmen, Beckenham (2023) and Jobbers Wood, Hertfordshire (2024), venues which are South and North of London, respectively. With the 2025 final taking place West of London, we have pencilled in Sittingbourne Community College, Kent to the East of London, as the venue for the final in 2026.
We are well aware that youth archers have to travel to take part in this shoot. Our hope is that this rotation of the venue for the shoot promotes at least a degree of fair access to it for all. For this year’s final we are also running a somewhat shorter shoot (9 dozen rather 12) in the hope this allows greater travel time and hence more participation.
We are currently putting the full schedule of shoots for SCAYT 2025 together and expect to be able to publish that in the second half of February.
