Our scouts participate regularly in the Exmoor Challenge which is a great walking event arranged by Exe Valley Rotary International for 10 to 17 year olds. Our teams train for the event throughout February, March and April with the support of some great volunteers. It is not an easy challenge, as teams need to diligently achieve a pace of 3 miles per hour with points deducted for being early and late to check points. The senior teams have to walk even faster! So anyone who completes this (or even attempts it) is amazing in our eyes!
The 2026 results are out and we’re very proud of all our teams that completed the event. Our two junior boys teams managed to finish in joint 1st place! Nothing to split them!
Congratulations as well to Willand and Wiveliscombe Scout groups that topped three of the other five categories available.
Note that the team with the lowest number of points wins. Time penalties are scored as minutes lost or gained, and 'Questions' is the number of correct questions answered (Maximum 16). Congratulations to ALL teams who completed the challenge - the conditions this year were ok to start with but very....
