ShelterBox
ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide.

By taking part you’ll find out all about the world of humanitarian aid and how ShelterBox helps people around world when disaster strikes.
Big Green Box Week: 12-19th June 2010

Build a Shelter
Competition
Big Green Box Week will once again see Scouts from across the UK create weird and wacky shelters and cram a crazy amount of people into tents. For the second year, we’re holding our shelter competition – except this time it’s just for Scouts!
