Peak Assault is Hertfordshire Scouts' most challenging competition organised for members of the Scout Association aged 14 and over and is now in its 43rd year. The competitors must use their orienteering skills, physical ability and mental strength to navigate their way across unforgiving terrain 'clipping' as many checkpoints as they can within the allotted time. The competitors must also carry all the equipment they will need for a night on the hills.
Each year the location is a closely guarded secret, only known to a select few right up until the start of the event. Likely locations are within the National Parks of England and Wales. Some competitors arrive home after a tough weekend not even knowing where they have been
There are three competition classes, Explorer (14 - 18), Network (18 - 25) and Senior (25+). Visiting teams from other organisiations and training teams are welcome in all 3 classes.
The dates for Peak Assault 2011 have been confirmed as 14th - 16th October.
