2.       Take a major part in the planning and successful management of at least four one-day journeys, two of which must be in Terrain Two areas. A person with an appropriate permit may accompany or supervise the journeys.

3.       Take a major part in the planning, preparation and leadership of at least one two-day expedition involving an overnight camp in wild country. Preparation must include demonstration of the correct use of all necessary equipment. A person with an appropriate permit may supervise the journeys but Explorer Scouts must play a major part in decisions affecting navigation and party management.
