The Ramblers and The Young Women’s Movement are teaming up to deliver the Out There Award: A free outdoors skills experience for 18- to 26-year-olds.

How the award works:

The Out There Award is not a formal qualification so there’s no test and no pressure! It’s all about taking part, learning, and having fun.

You will learn navigation basics while discovering a local walk and making new pals. You will build on the skills of day one and explore an amazing local walk.

Everyone who completes the award gets:

  • A free Ramblers starter pack worth £30, crammed full of navigation and safety essentials, including a compass.
  • A year of Ramblers membership worth £43, giving you access to group walks across Britain, Walk magazine and our library of routes.
  • A signed Out There Award certificate

This event is open to all  young women and girls, including transgender women, and non-binary people who feel comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of young women and girls, aged 18–26 years old.

Coming on your own?
Most people don’t know anyone when they turn up to the Out There Award, so that’s completely normal and we provide a welcoming atmosphere. However, if you would rather not come alone, you’re very welcome to invite a friend to sign-up with you.

Still not sure?
Email Ali Cooper at the Ramblers to ask any questions: outthereaward@ramblers.org.uk.

How will I get there?
The Young Women’s Movement will cover transport costs for attendees, but participants will need to bring their own lunch. To arrange transport, contact elena@youngwomenscot.org.
