Prior to the Expedition
Training weekends have already started and will continue right up to the expedition. With participants from all over South East Region a substantial amount of team building is required. While it may be difficult to give them the exact skills required in Malaysia, doing local project work will allow us to establish safe working practices within the team as well as contributing to Scottish communities.
