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
- Play a full part in the team.
- Use a map or other navigation device to keep track of where you are.
- Cook and eat at least one hot meal.
- 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.
- 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
