Easingwold District Scouts ventured to Switzerland, KISC this summer!

The camaraderie was captivating and we were fortunate enough to receive their Scout Leader’s camp report (thank you Kevin) that details the WHOLE thing! 😊

Take a look!

Tens of thousands of Scouts from all around the world visit KISC every year, and once you've been, it's easy to see why!

After a cracking Summer of Adventure, it’s easy to feel that nothing can surpass such incredible experiences!

While adventure is often associated with summertime, you’ll be pleased to hear that our destinations are not limited to just one season...

In fact, many of our destinations offer year-round discovery, or their moment to shine actually falls outside of the summer months! 🏂🧗‍♂️🚣

Worth bearing in mind 😊

Discover popular activity trip destinations for Scouting and Guiding groups. Switzerland, Belgium, Greece, Norway, Iceland, Canada & more.

We’re thrilled to share that our lovely Tour Coordinator, Karen, is launching a brand-new Guide unit in Darley Abbey, Derby!

Until now, the absence of a local Guide unit has meant that many young members have had to travel to neighbouring areas to participate. Thanks to all Karen’s hard work, more girls will be given the chance to be part of something special right in their own community – no lengthy commutes needed!

Karen has been volunteering for years, and we just can’t wait to see this exciting development flourish!

The unit officially opens on September 10th – just in time for the new academic year!

For all the details, visit our blog:
