Melamchigaon School Hostel Building
In October of 2008 33 members of West Yorkshire Scouts travelled to Nepal to build a hostel at the School at Melamchigaon. This followed constructing a very similar building at the County Campsite and Activity Centre at Bradley Wood.
The team raised over £10,000 to fund the project and worked with the local village community to build this much needed facility.
