Crammed full of adventure

Am sitting here at my desk looking at the Little Book we’ve just despatched to the Greater London Middlesex West scouts and my mind’s made up - I want to join. For sure they’ll reject my application but they won’t blame me for trying.

You should see this Little Book (really you should – click here to request your free sample). It’s going to be handed out to the 600+ scouts who are attending next week’s Kandersteg 2010 in Switzerland – an international alpine adventure expedition – and the programme is so amazing it’d make anyone want to join.

The expedition is crammed full of all the events and activities that’ll be taking place this summer at what is the world’s only international scout centre (something scouting’s founder Baden-Powell always dreamed of). Scouts, Guides and Explorer Scouts from all over the world will be converging there to camp, hike (across a huge glacier!), rock climb, white water raft, abseil and take part in numerous games and challenges.

Like the expedition itself, the Mini Guides, which each scout will carry with them at all times, are chock full of information, detailing the timetable for each day of the expedition, the site’s facilities, camp locations, maps, emergency contacts and loads of other useful information.

Just how much fun and adventure can you cram into an expedition? And, please, can I come?
