International
Scouting is a passport to experience the world in a way that most travellers can’t enjoy.
You’re part of a global movement that unites 47 million people. What better way to make new friends from different countries and share some incredible cultural experiences?!
If you are keen for international adventure, there are a few ways to go about it:
- Join a national contingent
- Plan and execute a Branch Friendship Tour
- Get a Letter of Introduction
- Take part in JOTA/JOTI
- You can also have an international experience without leaving your hall!
Find out more with Ways to go overseas.
International Scouting can become part of your regular program, or even help to inspire SIA projects. For more information and suggestions on how to introduce international with International Program Ideas. Have a browse to find something that suits you to help inspire the international spirit.
