We're passionate about the role that outdoor learning, education and adventure can play for young people in Scotland.
The wilderness environments in Scotland are the perfect landscape for young people to learn about themselves. And we're determined to protect their ability to access this for future generations. If you'd like to support us please get in touch or make a donation.
Here's the latest from Outward Bound Scotland.
Should outdoor residentials be part of the curriculum?
On 27 March 2025 Holyrood will debate whether outdoor residentials should be part of the curriculum, we believe it should.
Every year, thousands of children and young people miss out on an outdoor education, and often it’s money not mountains that stand in their way. We know this first-hand, which is why 80% of Outward Bound participants receive charitable funding.
Breaking the sound barrier
In a wild and remote corner of the Scottish Highlands, 40 remarkable young people set out on an Outward Bound journey like no other. What made this journey truly extraordinary was the participants themselves – a group of deaf young people who refused to be held back by anything.

In April 2023, 72 Scottish young carers from eight different young carer organisations came to Outward Bound to attend a 5-day course at The Trust’s Loch Eil centre.
