The online entry database will open on 1st September 2026 and will close at 2200 hrs on 3rd October 2026 or earlier if numbers are full.
What To Do Next
We would love to see as many members of the Scout section or Girlguides taking part with us this year as possible.
As there has been increased interest in the event each year, it is highly recommended that Leaders and team managers have a plan in place and are ready to enter teams once the database opens. You may wish to consider starting this process before the start of the summer break.
When team managers enter their teams, they will need to tick a box to show that all the participants are competent, and have the ability and stamina to complete their chosen route. Please note that the two routes created for this year’s event are more physically and navigationally challenging. The senior route has been measured at 18.5kms and the junior route has been measured at 13kms.
The Chiltern 20 Challenge is an event designed to test Scouts on their orienteering skills, endurance and teamwork across three different level walks. The How To Enter button has useful information on how the event works and what it entails. The Enter Here button will take you to Results Base which will enable you to register when we are fully open.
Please note: A snack meal will be provided which will consist of a jacket potato with a choice of cheese, beans and/or tuna (participants can choose between one, two or all three of these options) and a drink. Team managers will need to click on a box for each participant’s choice of food and details of any allergies and medical conditions.
Should you have any questions, please contact us through the contact page.
The closing date will be strictly adhered to, and no teams will be accepted after the deadline. As part of increased safety measures, there will be a maximum number of teams allowed to participate. It’s first come, first served, so please enter your teams as early as possible.
