The Swiss Chapter of the World Baden-Powell Fellow-ship has the pleasure to invite BP Fellows and their friends from around the world to join His Majesty King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden, Honorary Chairman of the World Scout Foundation, for the 68th BP Fellowship Event in Switzerland.

A first highlight of the event will take place in Zurich, Switzerland’s economical capital. For the second part a short journey will take us to the magnificent mountains of the Bernese Oberland, where we can experience a true Scout adventure in the famous International Scout Centre of Kandersteg.

In our Fellowship tradition, during this event we will wel-come new members of the Fellowship and recognise those who are moving through the Honours Programme.

Not only is the Baden-Powell Fellowship Event in Swit-zerland an occasion to meet friends from around the world and make new acquaintances, but is also a hap-pening to learn more about Scouting’s contribution to society, this year especially with a focus on Africa. Top class exponents from society, economics, politics and Scouting, will give us eye-opening insights.
