Take your Scouts or Guides on the adventure of a lifetime!

Registration is now open, the registration form for the expedition is available online here.

When and who?

The expedition will run from 19/20 to 30 August 2013 and is intended for Scouts, Explorer Scouts, Scout Network, Guides and Senior Section - if our previous expeditions are anything to go by we expect that over 600 people will attend! There are also opportunities for adults to join the expedition staff.

Is it for us?

The great thing for you as a Leader is that there’ll be helping hands from experienced staff all along the way - from making the site bookings (which we already have) through to arranging the transport and food. We can take the fear out of international expeditions for you. Who knows, Kandersteg 2013 may be only the first of many international experiences for your troop or unit.

How much?

The price of up to £520 (depending on the exchange rate) will include all site fees, transport for you and your gear, food, travel insurance, advice on activities, an expedition scarf and badge. The exact fee will be confirmed this autumn. In the meantime all we’re asking is that you extract a tenner from the piggy-bank to register your interest and cover the initial mailing costs.

There are also many free and low cost activities in Kandersteg, so the activities needn’t cost the earth either (unless you’re that person who wants to glacier hike, parascend, ice skate, disco dance and white water raft until you drop !).

What now?

August 2013 may sound like a long way off, but it’s worth planning ahead to ensure that everyone has the dates in their diary now. Make sure you’re on the mailing list by completing and returning the registration form.

Please send it to Leon Mielewczyk with your registration fee of £10. Reply as soon as possible, and no later than 31 May 2012 in order to receive the first mailing which will include more information so that you can brief everyone in your troop or unit.
