International
Much can be gained from taking part in Scouting within the UK, however experience of the world out with our borders can be a fantastic experience for any young person to undertake.
The region has hosted and supported many international experiences from assisting groups with trips, running Explorer Belts, World Jamboree’s and Blair Atholl Jamborette’s

Explorer Belt 2025
The Region are running another Explorer Belt in 2025 which will take place in Norway
WHAT IS AN EXPLORER BELT?
The Explorer Belt is a challenge of a lifetime.
It is a chance to take part in a ten day expedition that brings you a real understanding of a different country, its culture and way of life.
You will develop this understanding by travelling through the chosen country, working as part of a small team to complete a series of projects and most importantly by meeting local people.
It is an experience and an achievement that you will remember for the rest of your life.
The Explorer Belt is not the same as a Queen’s Scout Award / Duke of Edinburgh Expedition. You are not required to be self sufficient or walk set distances – the Explorer Belt is your chance to EXPLORE Romania.
