It was built in 1908 to house the construction workers for the <a href="/wiki/L%C3%B6tschberg_Tunnel" title="Lötschberg Tunnel">Lötschberg Tunnel</a>. In 1913, when the tunnel was finished, the chalet was left unused by the railway company. Von Bonstetten felt that this location could be the permanent international meeting place that <a href="/wiki/Robert_Baden-Powell,_1st_Baron_Baden-Powell" title="Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell">Robert Baden-Powell</a> had in mind where Scouts from all over the world could meet. Von Bonstetten wrote to him to let him know what he had found. The response was positive and on 12 February 1923 the Scouts International Home Association was set up; on 12 April 1923 the chalet and adjacent land were bought for <a href="/wiki/Swiss_franc" title="Swiss franc">CHF</a> 15,100, and the International Scout Centre came into existence. In 1930 Baden-Powell visited the site himself. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Fourth_International_Scout_Conference,_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Fourth_International_Scout_Conference%2C_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg/220px-Fourth_International_Scout_Conference%2C_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Fourth_International_Scout_Conference%2C_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg/330px-Fourth_International_Scout_Conference%2C_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Fourth_International_Scout_Conference%2C_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg/440px-Fourth_International_Scout_Conference%2C_Kandersteg_August_1926.jpg 2x" data-file-width="750" data-file-height="500" /></a><figcaption>Flyer and map of Kandersteg distributed to the participants of the 4th International Scout Conference 1926.</figcaption></figure><p>Up to current times, the site has continuously been augmented, with the first national room, 'the Dutch room' in 1927, and the purchase of additional land in 1929.

The centre was renamed Kandersteg International Scout Centre in 1977. In the 1980s, new campsites were created, together with extra toilet facilities, although the centre went through a difficult time financially. In 1994, the <i>International Scout Centre Foundation, Kandersteg</i> was established, and work started on the chalet extension project which opened on 1 June 1996. In December 2002, the top floor of the New Chalet was finished, completing the chalet extension, followed by new bathroom renovations two years later. In 2009, the centre opened a new accommodation building named Kanderlodge, purchased the neighbouring building, Sunneblick, and fully renovated the ground floor of the Old Chalet. During the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the centre had to close its doors for the first time since WWII. In 2021 KISC had to minimise many operations. The staff was reduced to only 5 people and the Chalet was completely closed. </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Location">Location</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kandersteg_International_Scout_Centre&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Location"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Maptokisc.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Map to KISC"><img alt="Map to KISC" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Maptokisc.jpg/175px-Maptokisc.jpg" decoding="async" width="175" height="206" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f1/Maptokisc.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="255" data-file-height="300" /></a><figcaption>Map to KISC</figcaption></figure> <p>The small, traditional Swiss village of Kandersteg (inhabitants approximately 1,200) is situated at 1,200 metres above sea level, 65 kilometres south of <a href="/wiki/Bern" title="Bern">Bern</a>, in the <a href="/wiki/Canton_(country_subdivision)" class="mw-redirect" title="Canton (country subdivision)">canton</a> of <a href="/wiki/Bern" title="Bern">Bern</a>, near the <a href="/wiki/L%C3%B6tschenpass" class="mw-redirect" title="Lötschenpass">Lötschenpass</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Gemmipass" class="mw-redirect" title="Gemmipass">Gemmipass</a>.

On average during the summer, the site has around 1000 guests at a time. While close to other groups, each group can be sure of their own campsite, ensuring both an international atmosphere and privacy. The sites have running water nearby and there are toilets and showers with hot water close at hand, which the visiting groups help to look after during their stay. There is a shop open on the campsite during the summer and a campsite office that is open most of the time. There is also a drying room and multiple picnic and barbecue facilities. </p><p>The campsite was originally <a href="/wiki/Brownfield_land" title="Brownfield land">wasteland</a> from the construction of the tunnel, so several sites are rocky. The railway runs close to some of the sites, so it can be noisy at times. </p><p>In 2023, the Centre built a bridge as a campsite entrance.

Facilities include full toilet and shower facilities for boys and girls, a fully equipped electric kitchen and a big living room with an open fireplace and balcony. </p><p>On the other side of the river Kander is the <i>Kander Lodge</i>, facing the Chalet. It has eighteen simple 2-bed rooms with shared bathrooms. The building has a kitchen, dining room, living room and meeting room. The building was originally erected in the nearby village of Mitholz, and in recent decades used as office and exhibition space for the <a href="/wiki/L%C3%B6tschberg_Base_Tunnel" title="Lötschberg Base Tunnel">Lötschberg Base Tunnel</a>. In 2008, after the tunnel was opened, the lodge was moved from Mitholz to its current site in Kandersteg. </p><p>Purchased in 2009, the <i>Sunneblick</i> is an old chalet with the same history as the Old Chalet and the Kander-Lodge. Originally it was an accommodation building for workers on the train tunnel in <a href="/wiki/Frutigen" title="Frutigen">Frutigen</a>. In the first quarter of the 20th century, it was moved from Frutigen to Kandersteg, to be the direct neighbour of the Old Chalet. The Sunneblick has 47 beds, a dining/play/meeting room, a fully equipped kitchen and a sitting room. It is available for use by a single group or can be rented as individual rooms. </p><p>The <i>Ueschinen Hut</i> is situated in the Ueschinen Valley, at a height of 1,890 metres, and about two to three hours' walk away from the centre. It is usually open from May to October. During the summer it is used mainly as a base for climbing and hiking activities, but it may be used by groups at any time if weather allows. The hut is actually half of a cowshed, so sometimes it is a bit noisy at night. It can sleep up to 30 people and has a fully equipped kitchen with wood stove, a general living and eating room and a special toilet – there is no electricity and no shower. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Camps_and_activities">Camps and activities</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kandersteg_International_Scout_Centre&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Camps and activities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The site has a history of camps, starting with the 50th <a href="/wiki/Woodbadge" class="mw-redirect" title="Woodbadge">Gilwell Scout course</a>, organized in 1926, and the 1st <a href="/wiki/World_Scout_Moot" title="World Scout Moot">World Scout Moot</a> with 2,500 <a href="/wiki/Rover_Scout" title="Rover Scout">Rover Scouts</a> from 23 countries in 1931.

Since then the staff team has grown and operates throughout the year with the directors being assisted by deputy directors and an international team of volunteer staff staying from three months to several years. Volunteer staff are recruited in various numbers according to the time of year to assist with the running of the centre's facilities and the programme offered.
