PUT YOUR SKILLS TO THE TEST

Learn it. Practise it. Challenge yourself.

SGUK Challenges are practical outdoor activities designed to help you take what you’ve learned and put it into practice.

Start with something simple, build your confidence and work your way towards more demanding skills.

SGUK Outdoor Skills Challenge

You don’t need to be an expert. You don’t need expensive equipment. You don’t need to be preparing for some extreme survival situation. And you don’t need to work your way through everything. The challenge is for anyone who enjoys being outdoors and wants to become a little more capable.
