Explorer Scout Activity Badges: Hill Walking

Complete the requirements below:

  1. Hold the Scout Section Hill Walker Badge or have completed at least 5 one-day journeys in the hills, each of at least 14 kilometres.

  2. Take a major part in the planning and successful management of at least four one-day journeys, two of which must be in Terrain Two areas. A person with an appropriate Permit may accompany or supervise the journeys.

  3. Take a major part in the planning, preparation and leadership of at least one two-day expedition involving an overnight camp in wild country. Preparation must include demonstration of the correct use of all necessary equipment. (A person with an appropriate Permit may supervise the journeys but Explorer Scouts must play a major part in decisions affecting navigation and party management.)

Notes

All the journeys and the expedition should have a defined purpose, in addition to that of completing the route. They may be directly linked to the requirements for the Queen's Scout and/or Duke of Edinburgh's Awards. The Leadership Team should ensure that Policy Organisation and Rules is consulted for the activities undertaken and use of appropriate clothing and equipment, route cards and conservation issues must be assured.

If you need help designing alternatives to these requirements for those with special needs please contact the Special Needs Office at Gilwell Park.
