Joe Doherty will attempt to become the first Scout expedition in the world to ski to the South Pole then kite ski back, a total distance of 1,400 miles. Joe will ski 700 miles from Hercules Inlet at 80° South, to the South Pole in 60 days. On the return journey, he will exploit the prevailing winds and kite-ski back the way he came in 20 days, all the while being completely unassisted. We award Scouts across the world a Antarctica challenge badge once they have completed our challenges we have set for the badge.
