The weather, the accommodation, and the company were all perfect. We try as a unit to go abroad bout every third year, and we are hoping that we will be able to return to Switzerland in the year 2000. Sometimes Guides or leaders are recommended to join another group travelling abroad, and to visit an event organised by Guides in other countries. In recent years one of the Guiders has been assistant leader to a group going to Finland, leader of a group going to Denmark. One of the Guides was also selected for the trip to Denmark.
Camps are lots of fun, and the chance to learn to be independent, and to be away from home.
Always, the leaders are there to help, and to ensure that the camp is safe. There is usually a spring camp held at the ends of May for about 4 days. This camp is usually held fairly close to home. The programme varies from year to year, but often at spring camp first time and inexperienced campers get the chance to learn to be away from home. They learn the independence of looking after themselves.
