Enough of this playing around Genève, now I have to get to work. Well, sort of. I am making my way by train to Kandersteg International Scout Center in the very heart of the Alps for a 10 day meeting with my working partners. The train whisks me around the Lake toward Bern and on to Kandersteg, which is where the road ends. Literally. To go on from here, you load your car on the train which takes it through the mountain tunnel to the other valley.
Kandersteg has been a Scout Center since 1923 and it is easy to see why it is a crown jewel in the world of Scout camps. It is literally within touching distance of some of the most amazing peaks in the world. It welcomes thousands of youth and adults year round and is staffed by young adults from 50 countries. It is truly an international center.
I'm spending time in this beautiful place with 60 Scout staff from the six regions of World Scouting that represent 161 different countries. And I am going to get to work with almost every one of them sometime throughout the summer.
Talk about an international experience!
