International

Scouts offers many opportunities for young people to explore and understand the world that they live in.

As a County we regularly run international trips and expeditions to complement the programmes of Groups and Districts. Recent trips have included World Scout Jamborees, projects in Africa, Kandersteg International Scout Centre and the ReQuest expedition to Antarctica.

In addition members of the Explorer and Network section can plan their own international expeditions as part of 'The Explorer Belt'.
