Passport requirements for minors are slightly different than adults. There are different rules for persons under the age of 16, for persons 16 or 17, and for persons 18 and older.
We are now less than 2 months away from our great adventure in the Swiss Alps at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC)!
The next and final group meeting will be in July, probably the week of the 11th when everyone is back from camp, exact date to-be-determined. At that meeting we'll go over final preparations; things like: when we're leaving and what to do (we'll all meet at the cabin and leave via our bus, bring your meds, emergency contacts, some of the adult leaders will need to have phone service, go over packing again, etc.
People going should be gathering the items on the packing list if they don't already have them, making sure they are doing some sort of exercise, should begin hydrating about 2 weeks before the trip, should make sure their paperwork is all in.
