Independent Expeditions
An Independent expedition is for young people to go on an expedition without a school, either joining a group of others to make up a team or joining as part of an organised group like the Scouts or Guides for example. There are a limited amount of destinations available but people go on the expedition with others they don't know. Team sizes range from 8 to around 18. Teamwork and Leadership Skills are thought especially important, as the groups may be more independent than a school based group.

Famous quotes containing the word independent:
“There are two kinds of timidity—timidity of mind, and timidity of the nerves; physical timidity, and moral timidity. Each is independent of the other. The body may be frightened and quake while the mind remains calm and bold, and vice versë. This is the key to many eccentricities of conduct. When both kinds meet in the same man he will be good for nothing all his life.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
