Peak the GLSW/Surrey Mountain SASU have set their dates for 2026. So if you would you like to spend a weekend in the mountains of Snowdonia with like-minded people learning about hill and mountain skills. Or if you would like to learn more about navigation and how to pass that on you our Young People. We have events to assist you in gaining additional skills or to get scouting permits to lead parties into the hills.
Hillwalking weekends

- May Friday 15th (travelling) to Sunday 17th 2026
- November Friday 13th (travelling) to Sunday 15th 2026
Whether you just want to gain some experience of hillwalking for the 1st time or you want to learn some key mountain skills or work towards leading others in the hills then these weekends are for you. If you wish we will provide assessment for those wanting to gain a Scouts Adventurous Activity Permit
These weekends are run by Peak SASU, a run jointly by GLSW and Surrey Scout Counties SASU and made up of leaders who are also hillwalking and climbing trainers and assessors who have been working together as a team for many years. We support and train Beaver/Cub/Scout/Explorer leaders and lead groups in the hills and mountains ourselves; many of us hold the Mountain Leader and/or Rock Climbing Instructor Awards, as well as adventurous activities permits for the Scouts.
The May weekend we offer training or assessment to take young people climbing on natural rock crags.
If anyone is interested in taking part in any of these training or assessment opportunities, bookings are being taken online below; more details are on the flyers below.
