Cub Scouts should complete all of the following:
-
Hold the Outdoor Challenge.

Take an active part in helping to plan or run the Night's Away experience for example, help a less experienced Cub Scout during the event or plan and lead a Scouts' Own or game.
-
Know how to prepare for a one-day expedition to the countryside (e.g. correct clothing, footwear, First Aid kit and food and drink).
-
Spend two nights away on a residential experience with other Cub Scouts (these nights should be in addition to Nights Away used for the Outdoor Challenge but do not have to be consecutive).
-
Plan and then travel along a route of at least one kilometre on foot or using any method of self-propelled transport and navigate using any of the following: Compass, Map, Landmarks, Tracking signs, Taped instructions Or plan and then use a route using at least two types of public transport. The route should not be one that is familiar to the Cub Scout.
