International Scouting

A look back at International Scouting

International Scouting has been a big part of the programme for some time. The first world Scout Jamboree was held in London in 1920, It was after that, that our founder Baden Powell had a dream about a place where all Scouts from all over the world could meet: and have a permanent mini jamboree. His dream came true and now we have an international Scout Centre which is located in Kandersteg, Switzerland.

Scouts in our County get the opportunity to partake in many exciting International adventures and we're looking at ways to increase these opportunities too.

Summer 2019

• 47 of our members of our County will attend the World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, USA.
• Elloughton Cum Brough are taking their Explorers and Scouts to the Lechtal in Austria with Jeka.
• Pocklington Scouts are visiting the most beautiful campsite (not including Givendale of course) at Kandersteg in Austria.
• Stamford Bridge Scouts are making use of the conveniently located P & O Ferries to visit Holland.
• Network members from Blacktoft Beacon District are attending the Pacific Jamboree in Canada.
• And last, but by no means least, Blacktoft Beacon and Grimsby and Cleethorpes District are seeking high adventure in the Canadian Rockies on their very exciting white water rafting expedition.
