Service in guiding – take an active role in guiding at a range of levels.
Outdoor challenge – build your teamwork and leadership skills in a glorious outdoor setting. Where you go and what you do is up to you!
Personal skill development – start a new skill and develop it, or take an existing skill to a new level for a minimum of 60 hours over 12 months. A personal skill could be anything from ballet to circus skills, performing magic tricks to playing a musical instrument.
Community action – get more involved with the world around you and gain a greater understanding of it through practical and research projects of your choice.
Residential – spend two nights and three days away from home with new people.
