This challenge is seen as the highest achievement an adult scouter can obtain. My challenge was located in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Rover Scouts, in teams of two, must travel a distance of at least 200km on foot, and 100km in public transport, over 10 days, completing various tasks along the way. These tasks include maintaining a log of the journey, consiting of a daily route, menu, budget and account of the day's activities. Each team must also complete a number of challenges, both prescribed and personal, which encourage participants to engage with the local populace and to learn about the local culture. Each team must find its own way back to a base camp where the expedition leaders are waiting for them. Teams are dropped off in an unknown location with just a map, the location of the base camp and a small amount of money on which to survive - typically €3 per person, per day of the event. The aim of the event is to test skills of communication, physical endurance and teamwork. Complete immersion in a foreign culture necessitates an ability to adapt to the norms of a different society with different customs and values, usually also a different language. Not all participants are successfully awarded the Belt. When they reach base-camp participants spend a few days relaxing and recovering while the expedition leaders examine the logbooks the teams maintained while they were travelling, then conducting interviews as a team and 1-1 to ensure the stories and events are accurate.
