Our free Out There Award will help kick-start your journey into the outdoors!
You must register via a free Eventbrite ticket!
Are you aged 18-26 and keen to learn the skills to explore Scotland on foot?
”One of the best experiences of my life.” Emma who joined an Out There Award in Glasgow
The Out There Award will kick-start your journey into the outdoors, while helping you meet people, boost your CV and build confidence along the way.
We run awards in accessible locations so anyone can get the skills they need to carry on exploring afterwards. It’s for everyone, regardless of your background, experience, location or budget.
It’s not a formal qualification and you’re not being assessed! It’s all about taking part, learning skills and having fun. We provide a welcoming and fun atmosphere. Most people don't know anyone when they turn up, so don't worry if you're signing up alone!
The award is split over two days, with about four to eight participants per award scheme.
Day One focuses on introductory outdoor skills. Day two is your exploring day, a social walk led by you and your fellow participants.
Each day is designed to break down the barriers that sadly stop many young adults from enjoying the outdoors. Check out this video to see why you should sign up to the award.
Everyone who completes the free award receives:
-A year of Ramblers membership worth £38.50
-A Ramblers starter pack, crammed full of navigation and safety essentials worth £26
-An Out There Award certificate
-Access to exclusive member training and away weekends
-And 1,000 Young Scot Reward points
When you’ve completed the Award, we’ll help you meet friendly local Young Walkers’ groups who lead amazing walks across Scotland.
You’ll also get access to the Out There Award Plus , which involves two days of volunteering and an overnight introduction to camping.
We can provide you with tents and the kit you need to get involved.
New for 2023 is the chance to apply for the Ambassador Scheme. This free year long training scheme is designed to give young adults who have come through the Out There Award a helping hand to further develop their outdoor skills and inspire other young adults to get walking with Ramblers Scotland. The Ambassador Scheme helps participants develop skills, build confidence and get formal qualifications.
“With this knowledge, along with the friends I made during this award, it has motivated me to be better prepared when exploring the incredible walks and sights Scotland has to offer.” Jenkins who joined an Out There Award in Edinburgh
