| Abstract: | Raleigh International is a British youth development charity offering structured overseas expeditions involving three different projects: adventurous activity, community service and environmental conservation. This paper deals with the experiences of a venturer group participating in a 10-week expedition to Ghana. Identified are two areas of concern for young venturers: 1. A failure to recognise that their desire for 'risk' to develop character was limited by the boundaries placed around their activities by Raleigh International, 2. their sense of 'service' to a developing nation contained elements of stigmatization of the people with whom they worked. |
