Don't miss Destination Denmark in 2009

02/11/2007

2009 is your chance to be part of the largest ever Scottish Scout contingent to travel abroad.

We are planning to take a group of 470 Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders to be part of the Danish ‘Blue Summer’ national camp in July 2009.

The event is open to Scout troops and Explorer Scout units, but also to individual Scouts, Explorer Scouts and Leaders whose troops or units may not wish to attend. Individuals will be made up into composite troops or units.

Part of the purpose of the trip is to enable those who have never had the chance to attend an international camp to do so. It is expected that about 23,000 Scouts and Guides will attend the camp from over 40 different countries.

‘Blue Summer’ runs between July 15 and 23, 2009 and the total cost, including transport, will be £385 each. The Scottish contingent will travel on two specially chartered 757 jets from Scotland to Denmark and then by coach to the campsite.

A professionally produced 40 minute video of the 1994 camp is available on loan to let all those considering attending sample the ‘Blue Summer’ experience. The video can be obtained from Hamish Leal, SHQ International Adviser by emailing [email protected].

If you wish your Scouts or Explorer Scouts to be part of such a rare opportunity contact SHQ on 01383 419 073 for an Application Form and payment details, stating whether you would like a group or individual form.

Please note that the final date for booking will be April 1, 2008.
