Groups of disabled and non-disabled Scouts will ascend Scafell Pike, Snowdon, Ben Nevis and Slieve Donard where they will use the traditional technique of rubbing flint to create sparks and kindle a flame.
On Tuesday 28 August the flames will be united in Stoke Mandeville – the spiritual home of the Paralympic movement – to create the London 2012 Paralympic flame.
It will then begin its 24-hour relay, with 116 teams of five torchbearers set to carry the flame on its journey to the Olympic Stadium in Stratford.
The Paralympic torch relay will travel through some of the communities of Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, before visiting all six host boroughs and a number of London landmarks. .
Sebastian Coe, chair of Locog, said: "By creating the four flames through human endeavour at the four highest peaks in the UK we will ensure that the spirit of each home nation is represented in the Paralympic flame."
