Go and discover World Scouting!
Going abroad with Scouting can take many forms; from UK organised events to totally DIY trips, there is an event and destination to suit everyone, either as a group or on your own.
Visits Abroad process
Your first step to going abroad (after having the idea) is to request a Visits Abroad pack (unless it is a UK organised event). This will give you valuable advice and a check list to help you along this process, together with the necessary support from the County Team.
Request a Visits Abroad pack:
Visits Abroad pack
This pack is required for any visit abroad, which is primarily in the name of Scouting, whether that is one adult helping on the International Service Team (IST) in Ireland, or an entire District going to Zimbabwe. If in doubt, let us know anyway and we can talk through what is needed.
Organised events news
Many international camps and activities take place every year across the globe. You can find information from The Scout Association.
