THE 3RD EUROTRANSIT WORK PARTY @ KANDERSTEG INTERNATIONAL SCOUT COMING IN 2010!
After two ver succesful editions, the Eurotransit Network is proud to announce the 3rd Work Party at KISC in Switzerland. Date for this year will be comfirmed soon: [ ] - [ ] October 2010.
For those who are not at all familiar with the concept, we gladly will give you some introduction here:
Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC): is a World Centre of the World Organisation of the Scout Movement (WOSM). The Centre began in 1923 with Baden-Powell, who, after the 1st World Jamboree, had a dream about a place where all Scouts from all over the world could meet. His dream came true and you have the opportunity to visit Kandersteg International Scout Centre and live your dream! KISC has over 10,000 guests each year from around 40 countries, as well as a young Staff Team of volunteers from around the world.
The aim of a Work Party is to help the Staff of KISC realise all kinds of projects as well as to assist with general work, mostly on the Campsite. During the low-season (Autumn + Spring) when there are less guests and also less Staff. Work can be for example: (re)building fences, preparing campsites, … Work Parties are really appreciated by KISC. They make it possible to keep up to date with projects and, every year, deliver many improvements for the Campsite guests.
What can you expect during this week? The week is divided in 2 equal parts. During the first half, we do General work, mostly on the campsite (like rebuilding fences...) and the second half, we have leisure time and simply enjoy all the possibilities of the Swiss Alps. In 2008 we filled our leisure time with Alpine Hikes, an overnight in a mountain hut, a Swiss evening, Curling, Abseiling but mostly with lots of fun.
If you are at least 18 years old,...
