The Green Beret Challenge is a weekend competition for teams of six Scouts. The event is open to all Scout Troops, who may enter as many Teams as practically possible. You may combine with other Troops to enter composite Teams if you wish. Teams from outside Hertfordshire are very welcome, and compete for their own Trophy To achieve the Green Beret Challenge, teams compete in FOUR elements:

• Orienteering
• Assault Course
• Challenge Incidents (Daytime)
• Night Exercise

The Challenge is designed to test a group of Scouts through a range of physical and intellectual activities. It also proves to be a significant challenge to their Leadership and Teamwork skills.

No doubt about it, IT’S TOUGH !! However, you can survive, provided you are prepared for the weather, and have trained beforehand.

The Challenge is held in November, cold and wet weather is the normal for this time of year. This only adds to the challenge.
