In 2019 the District is planning to provide an International experience in Europe for Scouts and Explorers in our District. We are looking for an Expedition Leader and five Assistant Leaders to provide a youth shaped trip open to all Scouts and Explorers in the Summer of 2019 and especially those unsuccessful in their 2019 World Scout Jamboree application.
