Scouts – Expedition Challenge Award

Are you ready for your next big adventure? An essential part of the Chief Scout’s Gold Award is the Expedition Challenge Award. This involves taking part in a two-day expedition – see the scout website for details at https://www.scouts.org.uk/scouts/awards/expedition/

We are planning an expedition at the end of half term, 29th – 30th. If you haven’t already done your Expedition Challenge Award this is your opportunity. It doesn’t come around often!

We’ll be having a preparatory session in the evening on Sunday 16th October when you will begin to plan your route and equipment etc. 

During the expedition you’ll need to 

  1. Play a full part in the team.
  2. Use a map or other navigation device to keep track of where you are.
  3. Cook and eat at least one hot meal.
  4. Undertake a project as the purpose of your expedition to be agreed with your leaders before you depart.  For example, a photo journey capturing some of the local history or natural environment. 
  5. Produce an individual report or presentation within the three weeks following your expedition to share with the group. You could present your work as a project, performance, video recording, oral presentation, blog or website.

Due to the tight timing we need to know whether you are planning to join us ASAP – Speak to your Section Leader
