Did you know that the Crean Challenge Expedition is an annual event based on the experiences of Irish explorer Tom Crean. It is for scouts aged from 13-15years and takes place over an eight-month period, culminating in a week-long expedition to Iceland. It aims to promote teamwork in patrols, to achieve a common goal, and to personally challenge everyone to identify and achieve personal goals.
Participants will develop practical skills which are tested throughout the duration of the challenge, such as Route Planning, Navigation,Hill Walking, Icelandic Weather Systems and First Aid.
