Campaign Story
Embark on a spectacular journey of discovery and adventure with "Jamboree Journey" a fundraiser dedicated to making an unforgettable summer 2024 scout expedition to Italy, Switzerland, and Central Europe possible for our scouts.
The funds raised through this initiative will cover some of the flights and travel expenses, giving us (Jeorge, Samantha, & William) the opportunity to experience the beauty, culture, and camaraderie that this expedition has to offer. The rest of the funds needed for the trip we have worked hard to raise, or are in the process of raising on our own through working at The Square (Jeorge), making cakes (Sam), the tooth fairy :-) (William) and modeling & acting jobs (all three)
The adventure begins at the Lake Como Scout Centre in Italy, nestled in the heart of the Larian Triangle. Here, we along with our scouts group will brave the thrilling Via Ferrata, challenge themselves at Jungle Park Xtreme, and explore the stunning landscapes of Como and the surrounding lakes. The Italian adventure concludes with a visit to the fashion and design capital of the world, Milan.
The journey continues in Switzerland at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC), a permanent jamboree nestled in the Swiss Alps. Here, we along with our scouts group will spend our days hiking and climbing the majestic mountains, rafting on the Aare river, and interacting with fellow scouts from around the globe. Excursions to the thriving cities of Berne and Zurich will immerse our scouts in Swiss culture and history.
By contributing to our "Jamboree Journey" fundraiser, you're not just supporting an expedition; you're investing in a transformative experience that will enrich our lives with adventure, camaraderie, and a deeper understanding of the world around us :-).
Join us on this journey. Help fuel the adventure and shape tomorrow's global citizens today.
