The Southern 50 Challenge Hike

What better way to start the New Year than taking part in the Southern 50 on 16th February 2019 as this event celebrates its 40th anniversary? The organising committee is currently planning to make it even more special for one of the longest running Scouting events in the UK. A poster is attached.

As this will be a significant event, why not start your training early and enter the ultimate 50 mile challenge? Now that’s a real adventure! We will also be organising a 50 km event, and especially for young people entering for the first time we will have a 30 km route exclusively for Explorer Scouts, members of Girlguiding and Scouts over 13½ who can use this as a linked activity.

Have a think about your team or teams. Although teams must comprise of between 3-5 members, plan to start off with at least four so you can still carry on if one team member is unable to take part.

If any Explorer Unit or Network wants a book a presentation about the event, drop an email to secretary@scouts-gln-southern50.org.uk.

The online entry database is now open. Full info and how to enter on our new website http://www.scouts-gln-southern50.org.uk/

Finally, some breaking news. For the first time ever, there will be a special high quality Technical event T-shirt on sale to walkers and supporters when you register your teams. These fabulous T-shirts cost £18 each, but you will receive a 20% discount on the cost of each T-shirt when your team is registered and the T-shirt is paid for by 31st December 2018.
