Ten Tors 2026 – Expression of Interest

Date: 16th October 2025 Location: Information Evening at Backwell School Sections: Scouts, Explorer Scouts

Ten Tors 2026 is starting up again ready to place 5 or 6 teams into the annual challenge in May next year. It is an event run by the Armed Forces purely for young people, and is the only one of its kind in the country. We are looking for any young people who like a challenge and enjoy learning new skills. Ten Tors is all about teamwork, navigation, fitness and stamina, and it teaches so many more skills like resilience, organisation and self organisation.

The event is open to  Year 9 and 10 Scouts and Explorers. There is an established team of leaders that train the young people for this challenge, and have done for some years. We have been very successful in training and completing Ten Tors over the last 50 years in fact!

More information about the actual event can be found here
