September 2026

Work has continued on Scouts | Terrain to address user-reported issues and continue to evolve the platform. Updates released in September include:

These changes begin to bring Scouts | Terrain in line with the Achievement Pathways improvements.

Milestones

Assists have been removed from Milestones. Assists already recorded now count as leads, and new assists can no longer be recorded.
Milestone requirements have been updated. Each Milestone now needs:
- Milestone 1: 6 participates in each Challenge Area and 2 leads
- Milestone 2: 5 participates in each Challenge Area and 4 leads
- Milestone 3: 4 participates in each Challenge Area and 6 leads
Leads can come from any Challenge Area.
Milestones in progress have been checked against the new requirements. Where a member has more credits than a stage now needs, the extra credits and their review comments have been moved to the next stage where possible. Where a member already meets the new requirements, their Milestone is ready for review.
Event creation, baselining, Record Achievements and the Milestone and Peak Award overviews have all been updated to show these changes.

Outdoor Adventure Skills and Peak Awards

OAS Stages 7, 8 and 9 now each count as two progressions towards Peak Awards.
Each stream tile on the Outdoor Adventure Skills overview page shows two stage numbers: the stage a member is working on and the highest stage they have completed. The tiles have been updated to make clear which number is which.

Deleting a Patrol now archives it instead, so past events that include that Patrol are kept intact.
Un-skipping a Milestone now also works for stages that were skipped during baselining.
Links to external documents from Introduction to Scouting have been fixed.
