EuroCamp 2012

EUROCAMP 2012

We have been invited to attend an international Scout Camp to be held this year in Belguim. The camp is run every 10 years by Scouts Sint-Victor. Below is some information about the camp, this has been copied from their website http://www.eurocamp2012.be.

What is EuroCamp?

EuroCamp is an international camp organised by Scouts Sint-Victor. Born as the result of former international contacts, this event is organised every ten years and has reached its third edition. The unique experience of many different scouts and cultures together is the reason EuroCamp is organised yet again and we would love to share this experience with other scouts in Europe.

Our goal is to bring together 200 youngsters between 15 and 17 years old. Because these young scouts are still underaged, we require they are accompanied by a few adults. We do not expect you to prepare any activities.

When and where? 

When: EuroCamp will take place between 1 and 10 august 2012. 
Where: The location is "de Hoge Rielen" in Kasterlee, Belgium. A sneek preview of the location is available here.

What do you do at EuroCamp?

We try to offer a varied set of activities:

 Traditional scouting activities:

 outside fun activities

 two day hiking trip

 camp fire

 Experiencing the Belgian culture

 Visit to a theme park

 Visit a cultural city

 Make new friendships

 Many, many more ...

What is the exact day schedule?

August 7Camp and rest day

August 8/9Two day hiking trip

August 10Swimming (Zilvermeer) and campfire

August 11/12Departure

Rosyth District would very much like to take a contingent of Explorer Scouts to this camp. We feel that all Explorers attending would gain a great deal from the camp, both in terms of meeting people from other countries, experiencing an international Scouting event and most importantly having some fun.

We expect the cost of the camp to be a maximum of £375 which will include travel, accommodation, food and insurance. We aim to keep the cost as low as possible, but this will depend upon the numbers attending and discounts we can obtain for transport.

If your child would like to take part can you please let me know before the end of January by emailing me on paul@thefield.plus.com. Please include your child’s name, Unit and contact details in any email. Once I have numbers in I will be in touch with more details and to request a £40 deposit to secure their space at the camp. The deposit will need to be paid by the middle of February.

Opportunities for Getting Scouts Active Outdoors Again

Further to the successful event held in 2011 and through funding made available from the Cashback for the Communities programme we have been given the opportunity to provide a full week-long activity experience to Scouts (10 ½ - 14) based at our Lochgoilhead Centre during the Easter Holidays 2012. The activity week will take place between Monday 9^th and Sunday 15^th April 2012

The residential event is being offered to Scouts who, for whatever reason, have been unable to attend an extended residential experience. This might be due to lack of adult resource or availability or individuals/Troops who come from communities that are experiencing economic hardship and as a result have been unable to take part in locally arranged activities.

The package would include full indoor accommodation, all activities, full catering and transport to and from a number of central locations. The cost of this week long opportunity is only £40 per person.

Please note that Groups who attended the event in October are ineligible to attend.

At this stage we need to know if you think that there are people in your District who would benefit from this opportunity and if so please let me know by return so that we can consider offering places to those most in need as places are very limited, Please do not contact Lochgoilhead directly,

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future,

Kind Regards,

Graeme

Carol Service

On Wednesday 14th Dec,

 It was our district's Carol service,

It was hosted by Aberdour.

After some moving around as the original venue had been doubled book we finally held it in the local Primary school.

Our district minister took the service in which we sang a few carols and had a very interesting  sermon.

We finished off the evening to a very load version of Rudolf the red nosed reindeer.

The collection we took was for the Fife Gingerbread charity and we raised £85.00 on the night.
