Something new for 2025! The Explorer Badges are challenging and we are taking on the challenge of delivering the Survival Skills Badge over a weekend of fun and exciting activities for all the Explorers in the County!
Details will be out shortly!
Some of the activities we will be looking at to earn the badge:
- Demonstrate different techniques to light a fire.
- Show how to build several different types of fire.
- Learn the techniques involved in catching your food, such as fishing or snares. This includes ensuring we are aware of the law and the issues about inhumanity to animals outside of a real survival situation.
- Learn to identify and source local, edible plants and fruit and the risks involved in eating those incorrectly identified.
- Prepare meat such as rabbit or fish to cook over an open fire and eat.
- Make an item of equipment that will be of use to you on a survival exercise.
- Demonstrate methods of filtering and purifying water.
- Demonstrate methods of finding direction by day or night without a compass.
The Explorers will:
- Cook all meals over an open fire
- Construct a shelter of natural or salvaged materials and sleep in it
- Cook without utensils or aluminium foil
