When planning an international expedition for Scouts and Girl Guides, you may find yourself deciding whether to take on the administrative tasks of booking logistics, accommodation, travel arrangements and excursions, or to place that responsibility in the hands of an experienced tour provider.
Luckily, Venture Abroad has been planning and organising Scout and Guide trips abroad for over half a century. With decades of experience, you can rest assured your trip will be planned with your safety, financial security and overall experience in mind, ensuring a smooth, well-supported and truly rewarding adventure from start to finish.
You’ll Benefit from Our Experience
For over 50 years, Venture Abroad has worked alongside volunteers, leaders and county commissioners to create unforgettable Scout and Guide trips abroad. Our dedicated team knows exactly what it takes to deliver an incredible adventure. Many of our staff are involved in their own units and have been part of the Scout and Guide community since childhood, so they truly understand what groups need.
Each team member knows our destinations inside out, meaning you’ll benefit from expert advice tailored specifically to your group’s needs and requirements.
We believe international travel offers life-changing experiences. From discovering new cultures to forming lasting friendships and developing personal skills, every trip is an opportunity to grow and broaden world views.
