\"\"<\/a>Well we went into this planning meeting intending to link the Irish and English pre-trips into one option that would be offered up along with the combined Switzerland\/Germany option, but things definitely did not go according to plan.\u00a0 Turns out that even if we don’t leave southern England, there is still so very much to do!\u00a0 Gilwell Park for example, is not just a significant historical site for World Scouting, it is also a full-fledged adventure camp!\u00a0 We’ll need at least a full day taking in Gilwell, then another couple days (at least)<\/em> to take in London, and don’t forget our pilgrimage to Brownsea Island!<\/p>\n

Given the timing of the meeting being right before exam week for our senior youth, and right after a Scout Camp we had nothing in the ways of formal presentations so I don’t have a pile of links to share with you.\u00a0 That said, we all sat around and discussed our options, Googled some awesome things to do in London, and quickly came to the realization that it’s Ireland OR England, not both.\u00a0 So Team Ireland, you are back to being on your own!<\/p>\n

Our very, very rough plan of an England pre-trip would look like this:<\/p>\n
