Father and son,  Colin and Paul Curson, Leaders of the 86th Leicester Scout group have been at the helm of the Dave Smart Challenge since 2010.

What started as a one day event, grew to become a weekend Challenge camp, keeping the original theme with the hike.  The camp soon became more popular over the years as more groups joined within the District.

The Cursons contacts within the Building industry has been an asset as this has opened a whole new dimension to the challenges, giving the Scouts the opportunity of operating machinery that most kids could only dream of when seeing them in use on a building site, as well as the many different challenges that take place along the route, the Scouts look forward wondering what awaits them at their next challenge camp.
