ADVENTUROUS JOURNEY
An enjoyable experience designed to cultivate a spirit of adventure and
discovery; an understanding of the environment, and the importance of
working together in a team with a common purpose.
The Adventurous Journey may be by foot, bicycle, boat or horseback, or
alternatively it may be an equally challenging adventurous journey. Proper
training and preparation, self sufficiency, self-reliance and the
exploration of new surroundings are the key elements.
If you are feeling particularly adventurous then the Adventurous Journey
Section could be fulfilled overseas, perhaps on an organised exchange with
an Award group from another country.
