Kandersteg International Scout Centre Trip 2026

Isaac is very excited to be raising money to go towards his scout group's trip to Kandersteg International Scout Centre in 2026.

He’s going as part of a group of 50 young people and adults to camp in the Swiss Alps with Scouts from all over the world. When he's there he'll have a once-in-a-lifetime experience, taking part in some amazing activities, and making friends from all over the world - the site was setup to be a permanent "mini-jamboree"!

Holmes Chapel Scout Hut is 811 miles from the Kandersteg International Scout Centre, Each of the Cubs/Scouts have been challenged to hike 32 miles over summer to cover “their part” of the return journey. It might not sound a lot, but for a 9 year old it’s a fairly big challenge. Isaac’s planning to do the hiking across a quite a few smaller walks (so his brother can be involved) and a small number of longer ones with some hills! His Dad will do all the walking with him and will also be going to Kandersteg as one of the leadership team.

Isaac also has a side quest to cover 1139 metres of elevation gain (the difference between Holmes Chapel and Kandersteg) so the trails can’t all be flat!

The group have a tracker showing all of their updates - Group Tracker
