Tips

• Cubs can choose from a wide range of activities, and they should get a say in what they do. All of your activities should be accessible for everyone.
• Any activity based on being outside counts for requirement two - you can even do an activity indoors, so you can get stuck in whatever the weather.

• There are lots of different ways to be active - the choices are almost endless. You don’t have to be a sports star; there’s something for everyone, whatever your ability or level of fitness.

  This requirement is all about trying something new, so it’s a great chance to try a more unusual sport. It’s worth asking local people or clubs if they would run a taster session for everyone.

• You don’t need to be an expert to help Cubs have an adventure - you may not even need a permit.

  It’s useful to know that some activities on land and in water don’t need an adventurous activity permit. You could also work with other permit holders, Scout Adventures Centres, or external providers. Some local activity clubs may even run a taster session. Make sure you follow the rules and safety guidance.

• A hike doesn’t have to be especially difficult or long: a simple walk that lasts between one or two hours is enough.

  You can get stuck in without a permit as long as you’re in Terrain Zero. There are plenty of resources to help you get your head (and your boots) around hiking. Check out the support from Go Outdoors and Scout Adventures. There’s also guidance for planning and running hillwalking.
