Are you ready for a challenge?

Are you ready for a challenge? Why not enter our KISC100! Challenge with the chance to win an amazing trip to KISC in 2023 to come and celebrate our 100th birthday! This contest is exclusive to registered WOSM and WAGGGS scouts and guides.

The KISC logo is a crystal made up of 6 fleur-de-lis representing the 6 World Scouting Regions united as one and is symbolic of the important role that KISC plays in connecting Scouts from all around the world.

For our Centenary contest, we have 6 KISC themed challenges for you to complete in the following weeks. Complete all 6 and send us evidence of your efforts –we can’t wait to see what you have done!

The 6 Challenges

High Adventure Challenge

The Lötschenpass hike is one of KISC’s best-loved guided hikes. It reaches a height of 2690m above sea level. Recreate this hike by walking up 2690 steps. If this is not practical for your situation, you can choose your own suitable physical challenge. Send us a photo of your amazing achievement!

Eco Adventure Challenge

The Nature Explorers workshop at KISC encourages us to connect with and care for our natural environment. Find a tree and make friends with it. Give it a name, a hug, draw a picture or write a poem about it, anything goes. Send us a photo of your creativity! If you can’t find a tree, choose a different natural subject.

International Friendship Challenge

International friendship is important at KISC. Find more international friends and connect virtually with Scouts from around the world on social media or other means. Tell us in a text file or a photo three facts you have learnt about Scouting in a different country.

Pinkie Challenge

How pink can you go? At KISC, the staff are known as Pinkies because of their glorious pink uniform. See how well you can embrace the colour by showing us your best pink outfit in a photo.

Swiss Culture Challenge

The Swiss culture is a very special part of the KISC experience. For this challenge, we would like you to have a go at yodelling! Send us a video (1 minute max) of your musical efforts.

100 years Challenge

In 2023, KISC will be 100 years old and we are really looking forward to receiving lots and lots of birthday cards! Start the celebrations off for us by sending us a birthday greeting. This could be a card, a video, a photo or even a song! (videos 1 minute max).
