Mission Impossible started more than 20 years ago, with Mission Impossible 1 - Spy vs. Spy. Since then we have seen mission after mission with each one more impossible than the last. But what's actually involved? At the core, Mission Impossible is a rogaining event.

• Rogaining is an orienteering sport of long-distance cross-country navigation, involving both route planning and navigation between checkpoints using a variety of map types. In a rogaine, teams choose which checkpoints to visit within a time limit with the intent of maximising their score. Teamwork, endurance, competition, and an appreciation for the natural environment are features of the sport.

But there is so much more than just navigation. It's not just about getting to the checkpoints, once you're there you will find a challenge that your team needs to complete. Great teamwork, problem-solving, and team spirit will earn your team extra points, and points are important because the team with the most points will earn their place on the Mission Impossible Shield, and will go down in Scouting history as the winners of Mission Impossible 19 - Mission Seusspossible.

Mission Impossible 19: Mission Seusspossible will be held from September 12 to 14 2025!

Participants can be 14-25 year old Scouts, Venturer Scouts, Rover Scouts, or Girl Guides.

Scouts need to have achieved Milestone 1 and Stage 3 in the Core Outdoor Adventure Skills, and have Section Leader approval.

Base Staff can be over 18 members of Girl Guides and Scouts WA. Adults (leaders or helpers) from any section can attend, granted they have a Working With Children Card.

Base staff make Mission Impossible what it is! Bases are spread throughout the bush, running challenges that test the participants in the areas of team work, planning, attitude and execution. Attending as base staff is a great way to spend a weekend away camping with your closest Scouting friends!

We're keeping this one secret for now, but we'll let you know soon.

Registrations will be open soon, and are made through ScoutMap.

Participant fee - Will be announced when registrations open! Base Staff fee - this year our base staff can attend the event for free, that's right $0
