Kandersteg / Switzerland August 2026 Information Meeting
2025-09-07 17:30 - 18:30 (Europe/London)
We will be holding an information evening for Switzerland on Sunday 7th September, 17:30 for 1 hour at 1st Chipping Sodbury Scout Hut.

Preparation is starting to build and I am now looking for commitment financially as I have a camping bill to pay before the end of the month. I know this is short notice, I can send out the presentation to everyone after the weekend and there will be plenty of other chances to come and chat with the team so please don’t stress.

This trip is open to members of all Explorer Units including Scouts, yet to move up to Explorers, in Cotswold Edge District, must be age 14 by time the trip starts (i.e. must be at least 14 years of age by 20th August 2026). It is also open to those who are Scout Network age 18+.

Dates 21st-29th ish of August 2026 (dates depending on transport).
