Belgium 2024

With backpacks packed, our Explorer unit (14-18yrs) headed off to Belgium in May to explore Brussels, Leuven and stay at a Belgian Scout Camp! Here’s a snapshot of what we got up to.

Explorers headed off independently in groups to try local cuisine. It was great to see them organising themselves, and sticking to a budget!
