Fund Raising 12 year old JJ

17th October 2025  10:49am - 12th August 2026  11:00am
Venue: Switzerland International Scouts

Fund Raising for JJ

 

I am a GMB member and my son JJ, aged 12, has been a proud member of 1st Mossley Scouts for the past 7 years. Through dedication, and a love for adventure, he’s been selected to join an incredible international trip to the Kandersteg International Scout Centre in Switzerland in August 2026.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience brings together Scouts from around the world to explore the Swiss Alps, take part in adventurous activities, and live the spirit of global Scouting. You can read more about the trip on this Scout link

https://www.gmescouts.org.uk/k26

 

To make this dream a reality, JJ is fundraising to cover the £1,550 cost of the trip. Every contribution—big or small—will help him take part in this unforgettable journey and hope to break our £500 target.

If you’d like to support JJ and help him represent 1st Mossley Scouts on the international stage, we’d be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for helping JJ take this big step in his Scouting adventure.
