Overseas Trips

International Scouting can involve everything from going on an expedition to another country to learning about cultures and traditions in your weekly programme.

As part of the UK Scout Association, we are part of a worldwide movement – there are Scout Associations in 216 countries and territories, and we are all member of the World Organisation of Scout Movements (WOSM).

Upcoming Opportunities

Discover everything you need to know about all the opportunities with West Lancs Scouts in another country can be a life-changing experience for you to meet new people, develop new skills and experience living in a different culture.

Financial Support

For advice on financial support available to adults and young people, please contact Chris Lomas, Deputy Lead Volunteer, confidentially at chris.lomas@westlancsscouts.org.uk. Support is available from West Lancs Scouts and other places to support the cost of trips if finances are a barrier to you.

If you have already been appointed as a leader you can apply to the adult leader hardship fund here.

If you have already been selected as a young person on a trip you can apply to the young person hardship fund here.
