The Brow Hike has been running for more than 40 years and remains a popular event, continuing to attract entries from all over West Yorkshire and beyond. The hike is a competitive incident hike, for teams of 4 young people aged 11-15 years, where completing incidents at checkpoints forms a major part of the hike. In the past, we have covered a wide range of incidents including current affairs, general knowledge, practical problem-solving tasks, first aid, weather systems, hill safety, and map and compass skills. There is also a focus on

team-working and leadership skills, with an additional prize awarded to the best Team Leader. The hike about 19 miles and runs over 2 days with each team carrying all the equipment necessary for the event; tents, sleeping bags, cooking equipment, food, personal items, etc.

The Brow Hike is a fun and challenging event that integrates perfectly with the Scouts and Explorer Scouts award schemes. It also makes an ideal training hike for those preparing for expeditions for the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme. Run by a highly experienced team, the Hike is fully supervised with thorough safety systems in place.
