Join the Flag a Munro Challenge!!

Your involvement with the DofE means you have probably heard of people going to 'bag a Munro' - climbing to the summit of Scotland's highest mountains.  But have you ever heard 'flag a Munro?'  We thought not....

In the spirit of adventurers who bring their country's flag to the ends of the earth, we're asking you to 'Flag a Munro' to celebrate the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.  It's part of our Legacy 2014 project, Commonwealth Connections.  You and a group have the opportunity to climb one of Scotland's 282 Munros and take a picture at the top with your flag - just like an explorer!

Group registration opens today; climbs will take place between April and June 2014.  Talk to your Leader to sign up.  You can 'flag' as many Munros as you want in a group as big as you want (minimum of 4 people) - we're trying to flag them all and we'll need your help!
