The Overland

The overland hike is a competition hike for teams of 4 Scouts or Explorers across the South Downs and has been running since 1968. The hike is open to any Scouts or Explorers. Most of the Troops and Units that enter come from East and West Sussex. It takes place around Easter time, the end of March or start of April. The start and end points are kept secret until two weeks before, but are normally somewhere between Chichester and Eastbourne. 

Goldbitz

Goldbitz is an overnight Scout widegame for teams of 4.  

They have been captured by the evil Overlord who owns the forest, which is being patrolled by hordes of his ‘ghastly’ goblins.

There are friendly villagers dotted around the woodlands who will give the Scouts precious metals in return for small tasks.

The Scouts can then find an alchemist who will turn the metals into ‘Bitz of Gold’, which the Scouts can trade with the Overlord for their freedom.
