I am a scout from Cork-Ireland.And this year alone we have leaned to sail, gone to Wales on a sionnach and spent 2 weeks in Kandersteg-Switzerland.We have competed in the Phoenix Challenge(an all Ireland competition) where we placed 23 out of 102 patrols where we made loads of friends and had so much craic.Although we spent 2 months training out of our Sumner Holidays we wouldn't change it for the world.Now all 8 of our patrol are like family.But some people still choose to sit at home and spend there 3 months holidays and all their weekends walking up at 2 O' Clock and spend the rest of the day watching Netflix.So if its tring to make a fulact fia while singing your hearts out in the back **** of no where or sailing in kilaloe or hiking in Wicklow,Wales or the Alps or even driving through Paris and putting up an Icelandic tent in Pallancekenry.You can ask and active Scout,Venture,Rover and Leader and they will all tell you the same thing SCOTS.IS.AMAZING.

I met some Italian scouts at a camp last month ( 4-12th. July 2014 Kandersteg, Switzerland) and I never got their full names, and I would like to contact them! They are from Florence. Their scarves is yellow, anybody who knows any scouts with yellow scarves in Florence or in Toscana? Please reply if you know anything about that! Thanks.

I am a college student that is studying abroad in Paris this summer for 5 weeks. We get a few long weekends to do what we want - one of which I want to take the train to Switzerland and camp and hike for 3 days. I have no idea on where to go to get the most out of my short time. Where is somewhere that a experienced hiker could go with his own gear that would be easy trip from Paris and relatively safe for someone alone?
