International Opportunities

In time order, nearest first - also, look at past trips

Important note: If you are planning a trip to Russia in a Scouting capacity, please let the Network know (through the website?) for two reasons: a) other Networkers may be able to offer help and advice b) you may be able to accomodate other Scouters who want to go where you are going or combine legs of your journey/activities with other groups to save money. Please contact us.
