Day 7 - Swiss Adventure 🇨🇭
Our hiking day, and everyone did incredibly well!
Our first team set off early to hike the Lötschenpass, an alpine crossing that has been used as a trading route since Roman times.
Our second group took on the Golitschepass Cheesery Hike, which included a visit to a traditional Swiss cheese house.
Meanwhile, our third group headed up the Allmenalp cable car, taking in some truly incredible views.
For our final evening on camp, we headed into the village for pizza! 🍕 We also celebrated some very special achievements, presenting long service awards to Ann and Sheila, and Chief Scout’s Gold Awards to Will, Jameela, Thomas and Oliver—a fantastic and well-deserved achievement. Congratulations to you all!
A huge, huge thank you also goes to all of our volunteers for the time, energy and care they’ve given to our young people, making this trip of a lifetime possible. Last night, the Scouts gave a really touching thank you to James, with Finlay piping him into camp before presenting him with a signed Kandersteg neckerchief. Roisin then said a few heartfelt words on behalf of the Scouts to thank our leadership team. It was a wonderful moment and a reminder of what Scouting is all about.
This morning, everyone pulled together to strike camp, say goodbye to our new friends, and load up the bus.
Everyone has pushed themselves to try new things, meet new people and take on new challenges. We couldn’t be prouder of everyone - thank you to all of our Scouts for representing the 28th so brilliantly overseas. You’ve been a credit to your families, your leaders and the Group.
We’re now on our way home and will continue to keep parents updated on our journey. We can’t wait to share a full camp roundup once we’re home, showered, and well rested!
What an unforgettable week! 🇨🇭🏕️❤️
