Get outdoors in 2024

Date: 16th Jan 2024 Author: Peter Tomlin

Take on the Outdoor in 24 challenge

There’s lots to do in 2024, including the Outdoor in 24 challenge.

The aim is to get Scouts outside, so we’ve put together a list of 24 exciting things to do outdoors.

It can be completed throughout the year to earn the Outdoor in 24 blanket badge. We’ve included some suggestions on this page, linked to the UK Scouts Activity Finder, but you can complete each activity however you want to.

Or, why not use our blank bucket list and come up with your own challenge to complete for the badge instead? You could complete 24 new outdoor activities, have a sleepover over for 24 hours, or learn 24 new skills. It’s up to you!

Here is the UK Scouts suggested 24 challenge for 2024: https://prod-umbraco-core.azurewebsites.net/media/a3gdhqiw/outdoor-in-24-bucket-list.pdf

Or create your own (with guidance from your Scouting lead volunteer) using this template: https://prod-umbraco-core.azurewebsites.net/media/aafdoegs/outdoor-for-24-blank-bucket-list.pdf

Those completing the Outdoors in 2024 Challenge can earn a blanket badge.

Leaders can find out more about the Outdoors in 2024 Challenge here and should order the blanket badges via the District Shop.
