Following the County’s very successful visit to Malawi in 2024, we are planning a smaller return visit in the early summer of 2026. This expedition is purposefully different in scale and scope to the full visit in 2024. The next full Project Africa expedition is likely to be in the summer of 2028.
Applications for Malawi 2026 are open to Scout Network and adult volunteers (aged 18 years at time of outward travel). Closing date for applications is 31 May. See below for enquiries.
