The 50 adventures every child should have by the age of 11 and 3/4

I feel very privileged to say I've done all of them except for 40, 49, 50 and 18, although I think I was closer to about 14 by the time I acheived it.

Dd's one up on me though, cos she's done all of them with the same exceptions, apart from number 50, she's done loads of canoeing.

Swimming in the sea a night has to be one of my favouritist things eve

My scout group celebrated their 60th anniversary last year and the whole year was based around 60 thing to do, the first 50 of which are the same...

Well they certainly beat 'be a level 6 in Maths and English, imho'.

If you do 49 you end up doing quite a lot of the rest. Certainly we do 49 and my DD has done quite a lot of things on this list because of it.

ds1 has about a month to go - and he's done all except 49 (slight technical hitch of not having a GPS to do it with). He's done orienteering type activities (including wider distance type ones on bikes) which is a kid of lower-tech equivalent though.

If you have a smartphone, that will do nicely. Not as sensitive as a GPS but certainly good enough most of the time.

Oops, my 11 year old has only done about 30 pm the list.
