Mountaineering Course 1 (Members 13+)
6th April 2019 - 14th April 2019
The course
The Introductory and Intermediate Mountaineering Course (IMC) is a week long. It’s being held at Lochearnhead Scout Station, the Hertfordshire Scouts Activity Centre in the Central Highlands of Scotland. This calendar entry notes the first of two.
It’s open everyone who is 13 or above (including adults). No hill walking experience is required prior to attendance, although it’s very beneficial to have some map reading and basic navigation skills. The week, albeit it is physically demanding, is a lot of fun with a balance between enjoying the mountain environment and providing a learning experience. As it takes place over the Easter period you’ll find the weather can be very variable. So if you apply you need to be prepared to go out in the hills whatever the conditions.
Applications
Applications are welcome from our older Scouts, Explorer Scouts and all our adult volunteers.
