On Sunday 24th August, 158 Scouts and Leaders from across Surrey will set off to Belgium for a three-day journey of exploration, learning, and remembrance—with a little chocolate tasting along the way!
During the trip, the Scouts will visit Bruges and Ypres to deepen their understanding of World War I and take part in meaningful remembrance ceremonies.
Highlights of the trip include visits to the Passchendaele Museum, Tyne Cot Cemetery, Ferme-Olivier Cemetery, Essex Farm, and Hill 60. A particularly special moment will be participating in the iconic Menin Gate parade.

This unforgettable experience begins bright and early with a 6am departure. We’ll be documenting the trip every step of the way, so be sure to follow along here in August.
