The Explorer Belt is an award created by the UK Scout Association, for those wanting to complete a challenging expedition abroad.

The challenge entails a 10 day expedition, using various methods of transport within the foreign country, where we will learn about it's culture and traditions.

This award is a great way to not only learn about others in our world, but also about our own competences in many areas, such as navigation and communication. We will also be presented with opportunities to develop and improve these skills along the way.

Afterwards, there will be a presentation where we will share what we have learnt and discovered on our journey, as well as some funny stories!

For our expedition, we will be travelling through Switzerland and exploring how waterways have shaped the societies we encounter.

We are being sponsored with some of our equipment by Hit the Trail, an outdoor gear and camping equipment company.
