On your marks, get set

Lord Coe helps to build a spare Olympic torch

Embark on Our Sporting Adventure and compete against Scouts from all over the UK

You can be part of the action when Scouting steps up to meet the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. More than 200 nations will head for the UK next summer and you can get your Scouts on the starting line via a host of activities and challenges of their own.

How it works

To bring the message of the 2012 Games to your section, we have put together an exciting set of activities based on the Olympic and Paralympic values – Our Sporting Adventure. Your section can complete the activities to achieve gold, silver and bronze medals. Our online medal table will allow you to record your progress and see how you’re getting on in comparison to other teams.

Medals

It’s not all about winning, but it is nice to snap up a medal or two.

Aim for bronze to get off to a steady start before jogging to silver and sprinting towards gold. The action starts on 1 January and runs until 30 September 2012.

The Olympic and Paralympic values are:

Friendship
Equality
Respect
Excellence
Inspiration
Determination
Courage
