Outdoor Adventure Skills gives you opportunities to experience different adventurous activities and introduce you to new skills.
There are 9 Outdoor Adventure Skills areas.
There are Plan>Do>Review> requirements for each Stage.
You need to do all the requirements for a Stage.
Your skills can be checked by a Scout in any section who is two Stages above your Stage.
You will then be awarded the badge for that Stage and Outdoor Adventure Skills area.
It is up to you how quickly or slowly you complete the Stages in the different streams.
Once you have achieved Stage 3, you can start checking the skills of other Scouts working on Stage 1!
Specialist Outdoor Adventure Skills Alpine, Aquatics, Boating, Cycling, Paddling and Vertical are the 6 specialist Outdoor Adventure Skills.
Depending on where you live you might not be able to do some of these activities near home. You could organise a camp or activity in a different place if you really want to develop in these skill areas.
In Joey Scouts, you can still earn your Joey Scout Challenge Award if you do not complete any specialist Outdoor Adventure Skills. But, it would be awesome if you tried some of them.
