EXPEDITIONS
The final
challenge.
The ultimate test of every skill you’ve built on your Expedition.
THE ULTIMATE
TEST.
This is where it all comes together.
The Final Challenge represents the ultimate test of every skill developed throughout the Expedition.
With every Expedition step you will have built your skills and experience, and pushed yourself to become stronger mentally and physically. The Final Challenge is where you discover just how far how you have come. This is where you realise that you are no longer the person you were when you arrived on Raleigh – this is where you prove how capable you truly are.
YOUR CHALLENGE
IN ACTION.
The challenge will be unique and designed specifically for you and your team. It will push you to find solutions to problems specific to your Expedition country. You will have to think fast and as a team to succeed. Whether it is project or endurance based, you will develop an effective plan, problem-solve and prove your leadership on the ultimate experience to earn your Raleigh stripes.
Expedition staff will accompany you and your team solely for safety and observation. You’re expected to plan, organise and execute tasks independently. Time pressure and decision-making demands will be significantly increased.
PROVE WHO
YOU ARE.
This is not a pass-or-fail assessment but it is designed to help
you evaluate your own ability to operate effectively under
adversity. You’ll need to put every skill you’ve developed across
the course of Expedition into practice to succeed in the
challenge.
That success will depend on the skills you’ll be testing:
Leadership Navigation Planning Decision making Teamwork Communication Problem-solving Resilience Expedition discipline
GOOD TO KNOW
The Final Challenge FAQs
How physically challenging will it be?
The aim isn’t to test your physical fitness but it will be hands-on and there will be physical elements, like there will have been throughout Expedition. This is far from any classroom or lecture theatre.
What skills will The Final Challenge test?
The Final Challenge will test everything you’ve learned so far but most importantly focusing on your leadership, teamworking and communication skills. However, for those to work effectively, there are a whole host of other skills you’ll have been working up in the background, perhaps without realising it. Like confidence, resilience, grid, determination. You’ll have been in scenarios, intentionally designed to build those, and now you’ll see just how far you’ve come.
Is The Final Challenge a pass or fail?
No – absolutely not. This is about you testing yourself and proving to yourself what you’re capable of. The achievements are yours. We’re showing you how far you’ve come since you arrived. It’ll feel incredible to see that.
