The Green Beret Challenge is a competition for teams of up to six Scouts.
To achieve the Green Beret Challenge, teams compete in four elements:
* Orienteering
* An Assault Course
* Challenge Incidents (Daytime)
* Night Exercise
The challenge will test a group of Scouts through a range of physical and intellectual activities. It also proves to be a significant challenge to leadership and teamwork skills. IT'S TOUGH!! However, you can survive, provided you are prepared for the weather. The Challenge is held in November, cold and wet weather is normal for the time of year, this only adds to the Challenge of Green Beret.
