BRADFORD ON AVON Scout group is heading for the mountains of Switzerland for an action-packed adventure.

The group have been planning the trip for a year, and the scouts have raised the money for the trip through fundraising activities including shining shoes for shoppers at Budgens supermarket.

On August 1, a group of 22 boys and eight adults from the 1st Bradford on Avon Scout Group will depart for a Swiss chalet in Adelboden where they will get a chance to go white water rafting and abseiling. They are also planning to meet their Swiss counterparts at the International Scout Centre at Kandersteg.
