Hi All,
Firstly, thanks to “anonymous” who posted the link:

which has pic’s of us! We didn’t even realise they were there…..
Back to today…..
Today the Explorer Scouts took part in a service project for the Kandersteg camp site itself, they made all the preparation for building a fence however due to unfortunate weather conditions the project had to called off, however the Explorers were thanked profusely by the Kandersteg staff.
Later that evening the Explorers took part in an activity that gives them the International Friendship Award, which they all completed!
Now on to Discovery scouts…now early morning wake up calls are never fun but when told that a snow and ice hike awaits us we were much more enthusiastic. A group of scouts had already headed up yesterday and the remainder were looking forward to it today. The promise of a hot meal and a warm bed helped as we completed the hike up Fründenhorn. We arrived at the hut and after a quick lunch we geared up with harnesses and crampons and headed out onto the glacier. All jokes aside…it was cool. After a few scouts had been in and out of crevasses we headed back to the hut for dinner and bed. It was awesome!!! 
That’s it for now! BY THE WAY, please do check back to earlier posts – we may have time to update / add photos!!
Kevin.
