It's all about Summer Camp.
Everything the Scouts do is getting ourselves ready for summer camp. This page lists as many of our summer camps as we can remember.

THE BIG HIKE:
Everyone did First via chesery.
Everyone did the Lotchenpasse.
Ventures did the Hockenhorn (3292m).
Some Ventures were rained off the Kanderfirn at about 2500m and so rock climbed Ortelehore (2561m) instead.
Looks like there may have been a Queens Scout Expedition too.
