From the Rideau Area page
The Rideau Challenge Journey is an annual hike on the Rideau Trail, through Marlborough Forest. This event, sponsored by the Rideau Area Scouters’ Club, has been running for more than 20 years and has proven to be a memorable experience for all.
The Rideau Challenge Journey is designed to provide an age appropriate hiking experience and is comprised of three different hike programs:
Bronze level for youth with little or no backpacking experience. Scouters hike with the youth and hike only on the Saturday, camping Saturday night at the common camp site, HQ.
Silver level for those youth who have some backpacking experience. The youth backpack with their personal gear without leader assistance, for two days, camping at the common campsite with Scouters on Saturday night, HQ. 
Gold Level is for the youth who want to experience a completely self-contained backpacking adventure with two nights camping and two full days hiking.
A-Pack will be participating in Bronze level.
