Today’s KIX+ looks both backwards and upwards. We’re marking 25 years of Surrey Scouts at KISC, including a glimpse of KIX+’s great-grandparent from the original 2001 expedition. There’s also a brilliant account from four of 1st Weybridge’s youngest Scouts after taking on Jegertosse, plenty more photos and stories from around KIX, and messages from home…

We’ve somehow reached the halfway point of KIX, but there’s still plenty going on. Today’s issue is especially youth shaped, with lots from the Young Leader Squad, a Scout-written account of the high ropes, KanderDuck nominations, a look behind the scenes at keeping KIX fed and plenty more from around Kandersteg.
