The activity for this session builds trust and teamwork within the Drey. The Squirrels will create obstacle courses in small groups, then it’ll be time to take a deep breath and go for it. Each group will test the obstacle courses, working as a team to get their Drey through!

Safety message

Use the safety checklist to help you plan and risk assess your activity. There's also more guidance to help you carry out your risk assessment, including examples. Don’t forget to make sure all young people and adults involved in the activity know how to take part safely.
