Possible USA trip in 2027 or 2028

I have just returned from the USA and gained agreement, from the Brigade in Neenah Wisconsin, to undertake another trip in either 2027 or 2028 – it would be our 7th. or 8th. visit.

Minimum age in 2027 would need to be 13 years.

In the past we have visited this large BB group, 230 miles north of Chicago, stayed with host families, and attended a camp on their island called Onaway at adventure camp, plus often travelling elsewhere for a visit to sight see like New York, or Chicago, or Toronto on the way home to see Niagara Falls. The group, with me, will ultimately decide the scope of the trip with extras or not!

Clearly the cost is high, and would need to be raised by the group themselves entirely, no BB money can be used to assist this. In the past fund raising by the group has always occured from afternoon teas, to car washing, to bring and buy stalls, etc..

For anyone to go, they have to be a full member of our group, attending regularly and helping as much as they are able to assist Witham BB. The trip depends also on staff being available to go and chaperone the young people.

All we need at this stage is a show of interest, then we can look into it further including true estimated costs. Please email me on

info@withambb.org.uk to express your interest, at this time.

Speak to me at BB if you have questions please.

Thanks John
