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 travel isn’t an option just now, you can find yourself a penpal or get involved in JOTA/JOTI.
If you are keen for adventure, there are a few ways to go about it including international events and contingents, Branch Friendship or Service trips. You can also have an international experience without leaving your hall!
