Concept of the Rover Week:            Rover Week is a nine-day session intended to provide Rovers

                                                            With an opportunity to enjoy a low cost winter break in Switzerland

                                                            with many added benefits. In addition to enjoying a winter holiday

in a large ski resort in the Swiss Alps, Rovers will be able to provide

service to Our Chalet through a specific project they will work on during their stay, which will be of long term benefit to Our Chalet. Additionally,by limiting participant numbers to ten per home Country, they will be able to mix with other Rovers from an international context to gain ideas and take them home for programming and future adventures. Finally,Rovers will be able to discover what Our Chalet has to offer to their Girl Guiding/Girl Scouting and Scouting groups for future trips. With this idea in mind, Our Chalet has put into place an age band for the week to introduce a new generation of Guides and Scouts to Our Chalet. Rovers will be divided into patrols so that individuals are responsible for their own cleaning, cooking and general running of the Chalet during their stay.

 

Please send the nominations with the enclosed proforma latest by November 30th 2007.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,
