Pioneering activities showcase what can be achieved with the right resources, some ingenuity and lots of imagination, equipping youth members with a range of skills inclusive of practical and personal development and team work, creating useful and helpful gadgets and structures to aid in our Scouting experience.

Not only do Pioneering skills and activities link into other areas of Adventure Skills learning, but it can also be used to promote a range of STEM activities and learning enabling practical application of these skills.

Here you will find all things Pioneering related.

This page is dedicated to providing you with training resources, guidance and hints & tips in helping you create a Pioneering learning programme and adventure that suits you and your group.
