Ever wondered what it’s like to be a volunteer at Kandersteg International Scout Centre?
Podcast Topics
Scouter Ken chats with Sam (from Canada) and Laura (from the United States), two “Pinkies” (read: seasonal volunteers) at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre (KISC).
Sam and Laura explain what it’s like to be a Pinkie, as well as how to apply for the role. Pinkies serve three-month terms roughly corresponding to the four seasons, and the application process includes a motivation letter, a CV, a picture, and a video explaining why you’d love to volunteer at KISC.
Shout-Outs
A big “thank you” to – who else? – Sam and Laura for agreeing to this interview, to Sam for reaching out to Scouter Ken ahead of Kander100, and to Laura for being a listener to the podcast as well!

Slow Burn, by Kevin MacLeod
Pinkie
As a Canadian, Sam's blood runs thick with maple syrup. She traded the North Shore mountains for the opportunity to visit the Swiss Alps (and to volunteer at KISC). When she's not hiking, you can find her trying to make new friends, reading a cozy book, or performing her own Noah Kahan concerts.
Pinkie
Laura traded a beach on the East Coast of the US for the mountains of Switzerland (and to volunteer at KISC, of course). You’ll find Laura guiding hikes leading challenge activities around KISC. A lover of all things plants and animals, Laura will revel in a photo of a cool plant or critter, and will never say no to dog pictures.
