International Contacts and Resources

Your ACC (International) is available to support all types of international activities including visits abroad. There are also numerous International Fact Sheets available on ScoutBase or from the Information Centre. Or you could try asking other members of the County Support Team, looking on ScoutBase or contacting the International Office at Gilwell Park.

By international agreement, all contact with other Scout organisations should be initiated through your ACC (International) or the International Office at Gilwell Park. Although this may seem long-winded and bureaucratic, many overseas Scout organisations simply cannot deal with unsolicited mail, particularly in developing countries.
