Kandersteg International Scout Centre Trip 2026

Rob Locke is organizing this fundraiser to benefit 1st Holmes Chapel Scout Group.

Theo’s raising money to go towards his groups trip to Kandersteg International Scout Centre in 2026.

He’s going as part of a group of 50 (will be scouts) and Adults to camp in the Swiss Alps with scouts from all over the world, have once in a lifetime experiences, make friends and learn about himself, others and the world.

Holmes Chapel Scout Hut is 811 miles from the Kandersteg International Scout Centre, Each of the Cubs/Scouts have been challenged to hike 32 miles over summer to cover “their part” of the return Journey. It might not sound a lot, but for a 9 year old it’s a fairly big challenge. Theo’s planning to do the hiking across a few full day hikes including some overnight camping.

Theo also has a side quest to cover 1139 metres of Elevation Gain (the difference between Holmes Chapel and Kandersteg) so the trails can’t be flat!

The group have a tracker showing all of their updates - Group Tracker
