Winter at KISC; a fully international Scout environment
If you visit Kandersteg International Scout Centre during winter, you can bet there will be tons of snow and lots of exiting activities to do at and around the centre. Every season, scouts from all over the world meet at KISC and volunteer as staff, running the centre for three months while having a great time. Last winter we also had the chance to learn more about the Scout of the World Award and start drawing all sorts of projects we would like to do at our local communities.
You see, the Scouts of the World Award encourages young adults to acquire values, knowledge and skills and become citizens of the world, i.e. people who are able to play an active role in “making the world a better place” in which to live.The SW Award is a discovery, an adventure focused on environment, development or peace. It is a voluntary service, a significant project carried out in your community or abroad. It’s about developing a feeling of personal commitment towards an issue that touches you. It’s about exploring, responding and taking action. It’s a great way to learn about yourself, and even better, to learn more about others.
Currently, around the world, there are young adults working on their SW Awards!
So check out the SW Award website for news, best practices and ideas for your own project and help us create a better world:
