Teens expelled from Tribe Scottish camp for bullying

“Some children broke the rules by sneaking off during Shabbat. They took aerosol cans into the woods with lighters and used them to set fire to things. Another group tried to blame another individual for getting them caught.”

David Collins, chief programmes officer for the US, said: “We take our responsibility to our participants, volunteers and staff very seriously. Incidents are very rare but when they happen they are dealt in a professional and timely manner.”

The Scottish camp was part of a diverse summer programme organised by Tribe in locations including Kent, Belgium, Israel, New York and Rwanda.
