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.

For each activity the Scout must:

·         have knowledge of the safety issues involved and the use of any equipment needed for the activity
