Job: Investigation Support Officer

Irrational Fear: Never being allowed outdoors!

Hi, my name is Reece. I am fairly new to scouting, not getting in to the movement until my late teens as part of my DofE GOLD residential then never looked back since! I am now a leader at multiple groups as well as an adventurous activity instructor at a large scout camp!

I am currently working towards my Kings Scout award, and am using this Trip as part of that journey!

I am thoroughly looking forward to exploring the beautiful country of Denmark, with some good friends and making life Long memories thanks to scouting!

Job: Hospitality

Irrational Fear: Getting Sick

Hi, my name is Alfie,

I love adventure and Exploring new lands, I’ve been a part of Scouting since I was in Beavers.

Scout’s has been a big part of my Life I’ve done every scout camp since I was little and I`ve enjoyed them all. Now I`m an assistant section leader for Cubs, helping to give them skills for life, along with being prepared.

I`m currently working towards my Explorer Belt Award and my Chief Scout Diamond Award.

I have travelled a lot around the South of England but I have never been to Denmark before. I`m looking forward to meeting up with lots of local Scout groups there, as well as exploring their beautiful scenery of their remarkable nation, along with learning what sport is popular in their homeland.

Dan Stones

Age: 21

Job: Agricultural Engineer

Irrational Fear: talk about needles.

Hi, my name is Dan.

I’ve been in scouting since I was alive.

I have been part of Bournemouth Network for 3 years and have done many daft things with them, such as camping in -7 on a wooden structure we built a week long tour of cornwall and doing a six day straight DofE expedition.

I also run a Cub Scout section in my local district of East Dorset achieving my woodbeads in late 2023.

I am a well travelled Scout having visited Belgium as well as Canada and the USA as part of the 24th World Scout Jamboree in 2019.

I am hoping to meet as many local scouts on this trip as well as discovering the local sights and experiencing the traditional food and drink of Denmark.

Tom Souper

Age: 24

Job: Apprentice Electronic Engineer

Irrational Fear: Haven’t found anything I’m fearful of yet!

Hi, my name is Tom.

I have been in Scouting since I was 8 years old, starting out as a Cub and progressing to where I am now!

I’ve been in Bournemouth Network for nearly 7 years now, I joined when I was 18 and in that time, I have been on many different trips with them, and this adventure will be my last outing as a Bournemouth Network member, so good to end on a high!

I was part of the UKC who travelled out to South Korea last year as IST.

I am hoping to see what Denmark holds for Scouts as well as establishing some more links with foreign Scouts further to the ones made at the Jamboree last year, as well as sampling all the local refreshments Denmark has to offer!
