Explorer Scout International Trek

All day Activity (2 Activity Points)

A popular activity at recent Blair Atholl Jamborettes, for those aged 16 and 17. 24 hours of fun and adventure starts with 3 afternoon activities around the Atholl Estate including bubble footballs, crate climbing and more! A short trek (6km) up Glen Tilt leads to the overnight site for a BBQ, campfire and a relaxed evening with no Patrol duties. The next morning, wake up slightly later than usual, trek back downhill to the main camp and collect your badge.

This activity counts for two allocations towards the White Cockade, and in addition, all those who complete the Trek will earn the special Blair Atholl Explorer Scout Trek badge as a reminder of their experience. Trek leaves the site early in the afternoon on Wednesday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday, returning the following morning. Assembly details will be confirmed by Subcamp Leader.
