Help Us Reach the Peak: The Final Push for Kandersteg 2026!

We are so close! Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we have already raised £765 toward our journey to the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC) in the Swiss Alps. This is a fantastic start, but we are now entering the "last stretch" of our fundraising journey.

This second phase of our campaign is all about one thing: accessibility. We want to ensure that every Scout in the 1st Monkstown Group—regardless of their financial circumstances—can stand among those mountain peaks. Every pound we raise from this point forward goes directly toward lowering the individual cost for our families, making this life-changing adventure a reality for all.

Why Kandersteg Matters

KISC isn’t just a campsite; it’s the spiritual home of world scouting. By reaching our final goal, you are helping our Scouts:

🌍 Connect Globally: Building friendships with Scouts from every corner of the world.

⛰️ Build Resilience: Overcoming physical and mental challenges in a high-alpine environment.

🧭 Develop Leadership: Returning home as confident, responsible role models for our local community.

🤝 Live the Promise: Participating in international service projects that foster a spirit of giving.

The Home Stretch: Our Goal

We are aiming to raise the final portion of our target. This funding is the bridge between a "possible" trip and an "inclusive" one. It covers:

Transport & Logistics: Getting our gear and our Scouts safely to the heart of Switzerland.

Specialist Equipment: Ensuring everyone has the high-quality alpine gear needed for mountain safety.

Subsidised Places: Directly reducing the fees for our young members to keep the trip affordable.

How You Can Help

We’ve climbed the first few hills, but now we need your help to reach the summit.

Donate: Even a small contribution makes a massive difference when we work together.

Share: Post our link on social media or send it to friends and family.

Support: Your encouragement means the world to our young adventurers.

Together, we can get the 1st Monkstown Scouts to the Alps—and bring them home forever changed.

Thank you for being part of our story,
