Our Scouts & Guides expeditions to Africa provide an eye-opening and immersive volunteering experience
With our tailor-made expeditions, your young people can make a meaningful difference at our partner schools in Ghana, Kenya or Zanzibar. At the same time, they’ll learn new skills, explore a new culture, and increase their understanding of global citizenship.
On your trip, your Scouts or Girlguides can help teach in lessons, run sports sessions, or build new facilities at our partner schools. Whatever they choose, they’ll be helping to improve the quality of education that our partner schools provide.
We make organising an expedition as simple as possible, so you can focus on making a difference.
From helping to launch your trip to your safe return home, we'll look after you from start to finish.
Travel Safely
We’ve organised many Scouts & Guides expeditions to Africa over the past 12 years, so you’ll be in good hands.
Create Global Citizens
Your young people will be taken out of their comfort zone during their trip, returning home as more knowledgeable, understanding and mature young adults.
Make an Impact
After safety, the most important part of your trip is the work you do at your partner school, and this is central to how we plan your trip.
Build Long-Term Relationships
Long-term sustainable development doesn’t happen overnight. Many of our groups want to build something long-lasting, and we lay the foundations to help make this happen.
