Adventure Service Challenge Scheme

The Adventure Service Challenge Scheme, otherwise known as the ASC Scheme, is a three-fold, integrated, interwoven scheme of activity for children.  It offers activities of:

ADVENTURE - Discovery, exploration, leisure pursuits, attitudes to and skills for life.

SERVICE - Concern for others, opportunities for helping those in need.

CHALLENGE - A comprehensive and complete training programme.

The ASC Scheme is complete in itself.  It is also designed to prepare young people for the Duke Of Edingburgh's Award.  In fact, the D of E Award HQ recommends the scheme for that purpose.  Sessions are held on friday evenings form 4:15pm until 5:45pm each week and in order to complete each stage the children will be expected to attend regularly.
