Mountain Pursuit Challenges (MPC) are hillwalking and backpacking weekends organised by Scouting Ireland. These are lightweight, wild camping weekends for Scouts between 13 and 15. There are 4 events a year, one in each of the provinces: Munster, Ulster, Leinster and Connacht.
The Teams consist of 4 scouts and 1 Scouter who remains with the Scouts for the whole weekend.
More information is available in the provided downloads, including full kit lists.
Mountain pursuit participants typically move on to take on Venture mountain havoc once they reach ventures.
