2027 Lincolnshire Scouts Trip to Kandersteg International Scout Centre, Switzerland

27th July - 5th August 2027

  • Participant information

    Lincolnshire Scouts is organising a 10-day trip to Kandersteg International Centre (KISC) in Swiss Alps, running from Monday 26th July to Thursday 5th August 2027. KISC is known as the Permanent Mini Jamboree, bringing together Scouts from dozens of countries each week for adventure, culture and friendship. During our stay we will also be at KISC for Swiss National Day on 1st August, one of the most exciting events of the year, attended by nearly 2,000 Scouts from around the world.


    Who’s coming?

     We have 34 places for young people aged 12-18, camping in patrols of six, supported by six experienced adult volunteers and 10 places for Network (18-24).

  • Travel, accommodation and food

    We will be travelling by coach, sleep in tents and self-cater.

  • Activities

    Young people will help to shape the final programme, but activities are expected to include guided mountain hikes, climbing and abseiling, rafting, international sports, Swiss cultural experiences, a campsite service project, an environmental challenge, and plenty of opportunities to make global friends. All activities at KISC are delivered by trained instructors, with oversight from our leadership team.

  • Cost and payments

    The total cost is approximately £1,600pp paid in installments between September 2026 and June 2027.

  • Preparation days and kit

    Participants will attend three training weekends/days - dates TBC.


    All participants will need a valid passport and EHIC/GHIC card. (Only apply through the NHS website.  Avoid unofficial websites – they may charge you a fee to apply while the card is actually free.)


    A full kit list will be provided nearer the time.

  • Fundraising

    A shared effort


    No single fundraiser will cover the full cost, but together, through individual effort, local activities, District events and grants, we can significantly reduce what each family needs to contribute. As importantly, fundraising is part of the adventure, helping to build confidence, teamwork and a real sense of ownership over the trip. If you have fundraising ideas or contacts that could help, please let the leadership team know, every little helps!
