- A hill walking permit application found at https://www.scoutsni.org/members/activities-scouts-ni/
- A logbook of experience (this should include any lowland or hill walking with scouts or external groups, along with any personal hill walking on your own, or with family, friends, etc.) An example logbook entry can be found on the logbook tab of the permit application spreadsheet.
