Race Round The World

Today is the day our #RaceRoundTheWorld begins! We’re racing to save over 500 groups hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis – and Scout Groups will be able to keep 20% of what they raise, too.

Here’s a few words from our very own Chief Scout, Bear Grylls, about why this our moment.

All you need to do is just travel a mile or more, get sponsored and log your miles. Simple.

Oh, and there’s a whole load of related (COVID-19 safe) activities you can do with your young people, too.

If you missed our last email with the details on how to get set up, you can read it here.

Now GO, Team Scouts!

You’ll be led all the way to the finish line (in mid-December) by our amazing ambassadors Ed Stafford and Saray Khumalo. You’ll be able to track your team’s journey on a digital map – our new activities relate to the countries you’ll travel through.

We hope you enjoy this epic, international challenge (from right here in the UK).

Thanks for helping us keep our groups open. Now, let’s #RaceRoundTheWorld!
