All adults must check on the Scout website that their Mandatory Ongoing Training is up-to-date before applying. If your training is not current then you will not be allowed to join the event (and may lose your payment)


We're heading back to the Dark Peak in September. Based at Greenacres campsite in Nether Booth, near Edale, we have direct access to Kinder Scout to the north and the Mam Tor ridge to the south with Ladybower Reservoir just a short drive to the east. Experienced, authorised adults will be in charge of each walking group (4 - 8 people) and the informal training will include walking skills, route planning, route choice, navigation, leadership and teamwork. The weekend typically provides a full day in the hills on Saturday and a half-day on Sunday before returning home, departing at around 14.00

This year the Kent Scouts Climbing Team are also in the area and are doing an 80 foot abseil off of the Millersdale Viaduct on Sunday morning. Anyone who would like to do that is very welcome and there is a tick-box on the application form if you do. If you don't then a pleasant walk along the Monsal trail /Chee Dale awaits instead.

You will need to provide lightweight camping kit and cooking facilities. This trip is entirely self-catered so x2 breakfasts, x1 evening meal and x2 packed lunches will need to be provided by the participants as well as food (or money) for the two journeys. The mini bus will stop once during each journey at motorway service areas.

Applications are accepted on a first-come, first served basis. You must have suitable fitness, clothing, footwear and camping kit – and the ability to pitch your tents in the dark!  Suggested kit list and gear guide. A more comprehensive list will be provided with your confirmation email and IMC will provide any group equipment. Please contact the organiser if you are still unsure.

All activities are provided under the rules and regulations of the Scout and Guide Associations for joint adventurous activities.Participants are advised to read the booklet “Safety on Mountains” which is available from the BMC
