Our Kandersteg contingent have travelled nearly 1000 miles by train to reach the International Scout Centre in Kandersteg, Switzerland.
Meeting for the first time over eighteen months ago the contingent have worked to plan and prepare for their venture with a series of training camps and activities in the UK. The result of this is a Youth Shaped week long programme of adventure planned including Mountain Biking, Hiking, Canyoning, Climbing and the Oecinensee Rodelbahn.

Awards Ceremony We held our annual Adult Awards Evening at Burghley House, celebrating the achievements and dedication of volunteers across Lincolnshire over the past year. During the evening, we recognised a range of prestigious awards, including the King’s Scout Award, Explorer Belt, Silver Acorn, and the Silver Wolf. These awards are among the highest honours in Scouting and recognise outstanding service, commitment, and the positive impact volunteers make for young people.
