Sustainability will not be a buzzword or checking off checklists at this camp We want to strive in every area to find and implement the best solution within the scope of possibilities, so that we are in harmony with our resources and it will be a great camp

No decision should be made because something has “always been done this way ” We think in new ways, find exciting solutions and thus make the national camp something special.

SCOUTING

The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) is a confederation of more than 170 National Scout Organizations with over 50 million members worldwide. It was formed to encourage the expansion and development of Lord BadenPowell’s dream throughout the world by promoting unity and the understanding of Scouting’s purpose and principles

Three main bodies make up WOSM: the World Scout Conference, the World Scout Committee, and the World Scout Bureau In addition to the three main divisions, six regional conferences and committees of the WOSM meet regularly to implement decisions and policies locally These regions include Africa, Arab, Asia-Pacific, Eurasia, Europe, and Interamerica

World Scout Jamborees and World Scout Moots are official international Scout events of WOSM. These events help develop greater understanding, tolerance, and cooperation among Scouts from around the world As Baden-Powell said, it allows Scouts “to assume new responsibility for promoting peace and goodwill ”

International Scouting is an exciting prospect for all troops but it requires a lot of planning Please get in touch to ensure your Scouters have the requisite training completed to travel abroad Our International team are here to help you get there
