Hanukkah Trip 2019 - Hike in the desert!
You are invited to join 10,000 Israeli scouts on a challenging experience in the Israeli desert!
Background
Dates
Israel Scouts' Hanukkah Trips are traditional four-day trips in the Negev - the Israeli desert. These trips are special due to the large number of Scouts participants (about 10,000!) and for the challenging experiences, including long hikes, cooking on campfires and sleeping in tents.
In the year of 2019 we will have 17 trips across different routes in the south of Israel with a total number of 10,000 girl and boy scouts.
Goal
The goal of the trip is to meet, talk and learn from each other about the main theme: cultural inclusion of diverse populations, focused on the Negev Bedouins.
Preparations
All the essential information regarding preparations for the event will be made available on our website.
