A relatively easy way for members to visit other countries is through a commercially organised Travel Package.

The 'Overseas Travel Packages' factsheet (FS260007) is available from the Information Centre and gives details of some commercial operators offering overseas travel packages, either specifically for Scout groups, or for general youth/school group travel. It is not exhaustive, and inclusion in this paper does not mean that the organisation is 'recommended' or 'approved' by The Scout Association.

However, the Association has worked closely with Venture Abroad to develop simple package to Scout Centres and to risk assess group visits to EuroDisney.

Activities are an integral part of the Scouting programme and you may choose to take part in adventurous activities when you are abroad. Information and support is given in the 'Adventurous Activities Abroad' factsheet (FS260022), available from the Information Centre.

When activities are included as part of your package or if you are using a commercial company to provide activities please make sure that you follow the guidance in 'The Commercially Led Activities Index' factsheet (FS120085), available from the Information Centre.
