'International Opportunities' is a monthly bulletin published by the International Office. The document contains details of many opportunities for members to join in camps overseas as well as all the international camps being held in the UK and Explorer Belt expeditions and fact finding trips organised by the various Networks.

To give a feel for the bulletin, the current edition (May 2008) lists:

• nearly 20 international opportunities for 2008.
• over 9 international opportunities for 2009

Although people interested in seeing all the International Opportunities can download the latest edition , here are the details of all the overseas camps by year and country.
