Group Exchange

We’re a scouts group from Belgium. We’re the leaders of the oldest group, we contain 7 members and 2 leaders. They are all 18 years old and we are 21.
During the year we have an activity every Saturday and we go also on several weekends. The activities are very various. It goes from an activity in the woods to one in the city or in our own village. Once a year we make a trip with the backpack and a tent. Another weekend we stay in a house or bungalow in a nearby town.

In the summer we’re going to camp for 14 days with all the groups together. The concept of our camp is to build everything ourselves. We don’t use a building for thing, thus we build our own showers, kitchens, toilets, livingrooms,…

This summer we would like to go on a group exchange. For the moment, we’re still looking for a group who is interested to welcome us for their summer camp. We would like to experience how you see the meaning of being a scout. Through the group exchange we would like to learn what the differences are between our groups and countries. We like to see how you organize your camp and your daily routine.

Know you’re thinking this is going to cost us a lot of money to take care of 9 people for a week. Wrong! The cost of our staying with you are financed by Europe. An organization in Belgium gets yearly an amount of money for projects like this. You will get also an amount of money to cover all the expenses that you will have to make to take care of us. Like the food, the activities that we do, … So this will cost you nothing.
We would like to stay with you for about 6 days. During these days, we want to stay with you and do activities together.

If you are interested please reply. Then we can make an arrangement and plan our trip. We have to make an application to get these subsidies so we have to present this as soon as possible to the organization whose responsible for it.
If you have any questions about this or you want more information, don’t hesitate to contact us!

We hope you’re interested, and reply us.

Kind regards
