Scottish Outdoor Access Code Activity Guide

This Code Activity Guide has been developed to help teachers and leaders support young people (12 - 14 year olds) to explore and understand their rights and responsibilities in the outdoors and apply them to their daily lives. It provides activity ideas that are designed to be fun and thought provoking and add value to a number of curricular areas and cross curricular themes of the Curriculum for Excellence, including Learning Outdoors and Citizenship.
