The Adventure Challenge

To earn this Challenge the Scout should take part in three different activities, each on a separate occasion. Examples of suitable activities are detailed below. You should treat these as guidelines, rather than a complete list. The three activities may be from any one section, or any combination of sections. There is no requirement for the Scout to complete an activity from each section.

For each activity the Scout must:

  • have knowledge of the safety issues involved and the use of any equipment needed for the activity
  • show an awareness of the environmental issues around the activity (such as erosion at popular climbing areas)
  • know about further opportunities to take part in the activities chosen.
