Il Centro è stato aperto nel 1923 dopo che Lord Baden-Powell espresse il desiderio di costruire un Mini Jamboree Permanente dove gli Scout di tutto il mondo potessero incontrarsi. Ogni anno vengono a trovarci più di 10,000 ospiti provenienti da circa 40 paesi, più uno staff che abbraccia tutti i continenti.In questa sezione troverete maggiori informazioni sulla storia e su che cosa rende speciale il Centro.

Troverete anche informazioni sulla struttura dello Staff, sul Comitato, sulla Fondazione, sui gruppi di lavoro (work parties) e sulle nostre scelte e procedure.

Von Bonstetten wrote to Baden-Powell telling him of this magical place he had found, inviting him for a visit which happened in 1922. In February 1923 the "Scouts International Home" Association was set up. On 12 April 1923 the Chalet and some land was bought and the Centre came into existence. The cost was CHF 15,100.- and some of the sponsors included; the World Scout Bureau, HRH The Prince of Wales, and HRH The Prince of the Netherlands.

The rest, as they say, is history...
