From mountain biking to sailing there is a wealth of high quality adventurous activities to take part in across Scotland. Through local authority outdoor centres or local providers you can find all levels of challenge, exploration and outdoor skills development.

SAPOE works closely with all the adventurous sports National Governing Bodies and the national safety organisations to help ensure that the standards for adventure remain high and that leaders have access to up to date skills and advice.

SAPOE members oversee the safe delivery of activities in their local authority. Some advisors manage a team of outdoor instructors or run an outdoor centre.

Currently to deliver adventure activities to young people under 18 all local authorities and commercial providers come under the Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations 2004.
