Hampshire Scout Expeditions (HSX) is a group of like-minded people in Hampshire Scouting who enjoy outdoor activities, and want to challenge themselves personally, as well as supporting others in achieving their dreams.
Activities range from mountaineering weekends in the UK to expeditions around the world, including Patagonia, Cambodia and Nepal.
Contact info@hsx.org.uk to find out more about joining HSX.
Founded in 1986, HSX has enabled hundreds of young people to experience adventures they never thought possible – and help change the world for good.
In 2007, three members of HSX summited Everest, showing that the sky really is the limit for the adventure which HSX offers.
Activities and expeditions are open to youth and adult members of Hampshire Scouting aged 14-25, with leadership opportunities open to those aged 18 and above.
HSX’s mission is to develop leadership and teamwork skills in young people and young adults through mountain activities and international adventure and community development expeditions.
