What is ICE?

ICE stands for International Community Experience. It is an opportunity for personal development through community action linked with international experiences.

What’s in it for me?

ICE a three stage opportunity for Guides aged between 11 and 13. Stage 1 is a Residential weekend involving an introduction to local community projects and international experiences. You will get the chance to participate in a small scale community project and help plan and shape stage 3 of the opportunity.

Stage 2 is a Briefing day to get together and find out more about the final stage.

Stage 3 is the final stage in the ICE opportunity, only open to Guides who have completed stage 1 and stage 2. At the weekend the Guides will partake in a large scale community action project, learn about international opportunities and gain the skills required to develop community action within their own units.

ICE is the first stepping stone to international opportunities within Guiding.
