Scots pupils to have the right to outdoor activity in new plan to fight mental health concerns A PLAN to guarantee all young people in Scotland have the right to benefit from the outdoors is being drawn up as a study showed that around two in five young people in Scotland were concerned about their mental health and wellbeing during lockdown. Scottish adventurers Mollie Hughes and Marc Beaumont have joined politicians from across the political spectrum and a coalition of youth groups to launch a bid to ensure that from 2022, residential outdoor learning is embedded across the curriculum, and that all young people benefit in both primary and secondary school.
