Kandersteg - Located in Switzerland in the Bernese Alps, Kandersteg is 65km from Bern. - The Kandersteg village is only 2km from KISC with shops, café, swimming pool and more. - http://www.kandersteg.ch/

Why have a schedule? - To ensure that the experience is Youth Shaped – giving the Scouts a chance to decide what they want to do whilst there. - To create a sense of Unit Identity and build a strong and supportive team. - To support each other with Fundraising. - To help the Scouts learn new skills and experience new activities in the lead up to a fantastic trip at KISC
Costs - £1000 total, to include trip and training costs. - Speak directly to Districts about their contributions. - There may be some additional cost to the County Scout Camp in May 2019 - Approx. 90% covered by training budget. - Looking at doing some group fundraising to cover additional costs such as group t-shirts, badges, hoody's.
Fundraising - Happy to provide support to those who need it. - Will be covering fundraising as a group - Already started! - Creating lists of ideas generated by Scouts. - Supporting ideas and sharing amongst us what has worked. - Looking into getting a Bucks International Adventure pull-up banner which could be borrowed by parents for activities/fundraising. - Let us know if there is anything you would like help with!
