APEX CHALLANGE
The basic idea of the event is that it is a multi-activity competition where YOU call the shots. The idea is to collect as many Apex Points as you can within a set time.
Each team of four is given a map of the playing area. There'll be about ten main activities for you to try your hand it with things ranging from abseiling, to climbing, weaselling or assault courses. You'll know WHERE the selectionactivities eventsare, willbut you followwon't inalways dueknow coursewhat you might find there when howeveryou arrive. Each of these gets you 50 points.
 On your way between these activities you can visit other control points where you just stamp your card to get extra points. ifThe number of points you get for each of those depends how easy they are interested,to find, pleasebut it could be anything from 5 to 30 points.
You can decide which places you go to and in what order speakto try to plan the Explorerbest Scoutroute Leaderround soto get the most points. If it's an event that yourinvolves a interestnight-time element, don't think you can just stick to the big easy footpaths though! There'll be passeda team onof Apex Chasers patrolling them trying to steal your points.
