Scouts: Switzerland Expedition 2011

In 2011, the Scout Troops went to Switzerland for their Summer Expedition – this was the 3rd time we’ve been there.

A short report on thie expedition is here.

During the expedition, we had a Twitter feed to the web site from various Leaders in
Switzerland. To see a copy of the messages that were sent, click here.

We will be at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (http://www.kisc.ch) from 20th August to 3rd September (right at the back of the School Holidays). The initial invitation was sent out earlier (see https://1finch.org.uk/content/scouts-kandersteg-expedition-2011). All the places are taken, but please contact Chris Ramsay (chris.ramsay@1finch.org.uk) if you are now interested and would like to join the waiting list.

As we said in the letter sent out in September 2010, we would like you to make your own choice of the optional activities. A full description of the activities, along with the points required, is now online at https://1finch.org.uk/content/kandersteg-expedition-2011-activity-choices

The outline programme for the expedition is now available (April 2011). Please click on https://1finch.org.uk/content/scout-kandersteg-expedition-2011-outline-programme to see it.
