Dorking Explorer Scouts Take On The Yorkshire Dales

Date: 28th Oct 2023 Author: Chris Pike

For 4 days after Storm Babet subsided members from the Dorking Explorer Scout Unit undertook their practice Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award hike across the Yorkshire Dales National Park!

This involved them hiking with all their camping, food and clothing for 3 days and two nights covering just under 60km! They will then have their qualifying expedition in 2024 with the hopeful aim of reaching their top award, The King’s Scout Award!

A huge thank you for ‘The Western Watch’ who are a SASU unit based across Surrey Scouts for helping our Explorer Scouts with this adventure!
