From Alpine Camps to Roman Ruins: MBSG's Epic Summer Program
This summer, MBSG embarked on an unforgettable adventure, combining the best of scouting with the cultural richness of Switzerland and Italy. Our program kicked off at the prestigious Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC), nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps.
At KISC, our scouts immersed themselves in a dynamic camping and scouting program. We honed essential scout skills through hands-on practice, challenged ourselves with invigorating hikes amidst the breathtaking Alpine scenery, and strengthened our bonds through engaging team-building activities. A highlight of our time in Kandersteg was our participation in the Scout Go Solar Program, an initiative that broadened our understanding of sustainable energy and its importance.
The KISC experience culminated in an inspiring meeting with the Centre's Director. His insightful speech on the crucial role of youth in society and the profound positive influence of the scout movement on young individuals left a lasting impression on our members.
Following our enriching time at KISC, we journeyed south to explore the iconic cities of Geneva, Milan, and Rome. Our sightseeing program wasn't just about observing famous landmarks; we turned each city into an exciting playground with engaging treasure hunt adventures. This interactive approach made discovering the major sights in each city a truly memorable and fun experience for all the scouts. From the international hub of Geneva to the fashion capital of Milan and the historical grandeur of Rome, the treasure hunts added an extra layer of excitement and teamwork to our cultural exploration.
The MBSG summer delegation in Switzerland and Italy was a resounding success, providing our scouts with invaluable opportunities for personal growth, skill development, cultural immersion, and unforgettable memories. It was a testament to the spirit of scouting and the power of shared experiences. We look forward to more such enriching adventures in the future!
