Close to nature and away from the distractions of every day life\, you’ll find nowhere else like Kandersteg. That’s why Baden-Powell chose here. A place where you can pitch your tent under the stars\, climb mountains with your friends\, paddle across lakes and enjoy stunning sunsets at the end of each day. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Countdown until the Australian Contingent takes off for KISC!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Day(s) \n \n : \n \n \n Hour(s) \n \n : \n \n \n Minute(s) \n \n : \n \n \n Second(s) \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n We will be departing Australia on July 1 and returning July 13 after an incredible two weeks at KISC! \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What can you expect?\n  \n\nMemories and friends for life\nBreathtaking alpine scenery\nService Excellence based on Scout Centre service standards according to our values and principles\nHard working\, helpful and highly motivated international team of volunteer Staff who always do their best\nWide range of self-guided or guided activities and programme advice\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Keep up to date with news from the Australian Contingent!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Newsletter 1 HERE!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Newsletter 2 HERE!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Newsletter 3 HERE!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Newsletter 4 HERE!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Newsletter 5 HERE!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n View Newsletter 6 HERE!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Contact the Contingent Mangement Team\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Name\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Email Address\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Message\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 15 + 4 = \n \n \n Send Message\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n To view our Contingent’s Terms and Conditions please click here.
