IN THE GEMMI PASS
 Day 11 

 Long before leaving for Kandersteg, the Explorer Scouts commenced planning a three day expedition. The first day would be the toughest, a cable car up into the Gemmi pass followed by a walk up and through the high pass.  For this section leaders would spot them from a distance.
 
OBVIOUSLY HAVING FUN

A FLYING GOAT

TOO MUCH ENERGY

FOREST FIRES IN THE VALLEY

Switzerland enjoyed the hottest and driest summer in 80 years.  The Rhone valley is at a lower altitude than Kandersteg and is significantly warmer.  The Explorers saw forest fires whilst there and when they returned to Kandersteg the region was placed on alert. Extra safety rules were put in place on the Scout Camp site which was one of the very few areas permitted to have open fires.
