 KANDERSTEG SUMMER CAMP 2003
logo

In August of 2003 3rd Gidea Park Scouts and Romford District Explorer Scouts held a joint summer camp at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland. 

Our Six Scouts were joined by six of Romford Districts Explorer Scouts as well as some Networkers. For the Explorers this was intended to be a big event to launch the new Explorer Section which had only started the autumn before.

The program of activities for the Explorers and the Scouts was very similar but the activities were all appropriately tailored for the age, experience and abilities of the people taking part.

What follows is a full photographic report.

Click the links on the camp program below to read the daily reports or start here and use the next links at the bottom of each page to progress through all the pages.

The photographs were taken by MARK H, MARK N, JON G, DAVE, JON W, SARAH, ANGE & OTHERS.
