🇨🇭 What an adventure!

After two years of planning and fundraising, 48 members of Blaydon and District Scouts travelled from Ryton to Adelboden for an unforgettable Swiss adventure!

From high ropes and Alpine swimming to Interlaken, Kandersteg International Scout Centre and plenty more, our Explorers and Network members made memories to last a lifetime. We even celebrated a birthday and invested four Explorer Scouts while away!

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make Switzerland – Adelboden 2026 possible. An absolute blast! 🇨🇭

Behind every badge is a brilliant volunteer. 🌟

Our volunteers support young people to learn skills for life, grow in confidence, and build friendships that last a lifetime. Whether it’s an hour a week or a weekend a month — it all makes a big difference.
