How do you appraoch an event like this with respect to Scout Activity
rules ?
A lot of Dartmoor would be Terrain 1 and possibly bits of Terrain 2
also.
For the actual event does someone in the team get issued with a permit
or are they remotly supervised by another permit holder ?

It has been quite widely publicized on the award website and in the
award journal, my DofE region ran workshops a couple of weeks ago,
that I found out after they had happened was not their fault :-(
Follow GAGS' links!

according to scout HQ
"scouts do not sing ging gang goolie"
apparently we prefer the tunes of paul mccartney and jarvis cocker.
I think my prefer the tunes of His Infernal Majesty or Dizzee
Rascal...
and we DO sing Ging Gang Goolie
http://www.scouts.org.uk/knot/
(drag the pages across to read)
and the next page:
"scouting is not just about tying knots...it's pretty hard to tie one
while climbing, sailing or parascending."
IT'S PRETTY EFFING DIFFICULT TO DO CLIMBING, SAILING OR PARASCENDING
WITHOUT TYING A BLINKING KNOT.

Resembling a hike - many do. But I personally do not consider a walk to be a
hike. Many walk to school with their bags a mile or 2 but certainly not a
hike.
I don't really know how to diferentiate the 2 but a hike to me is generally
something away from the tarmac and well worn canal towpaths.
