Youth groups


We work with groups of all ages and abilities, and are able to offer a variety of practical, engaging activities to inspire and challenge young people to take a greater interest in the outdoors. We have plenty of options for working as a group or as individuals.
Looking after the National Park
Youth groups can help to look after the National Park by undertaking conservation tasks through our Practical Ranger Days.
We can also deliver sessions specific to Scout Association and Girlguiding badges, please see below. Individuals can also complete elements of their Queen's Scout Award and Queen's Guide Award through taking part in our Conservation Residentials.
We also offer specific training for DofE groups linked to expeditions.
Individual young people can also gain valuable experience and work towards their skills and volunteering elements of programmes through our Young Rangers Scheme.
