CaEx-Programme-Overview

At Wurzl14 there will be five days on which you participate in the camp programme. Two days will be spent outside of the campsite succeeding a challenge combined with a hike in the mountains. One day is reserved for workshops where the youths can choose from a long list of different issues (drama, radiocommunication, photography, ….. –  there are already lots of ideas) – the final list will be published here in October. A special programme-day will be the “Good-Deed-Day”. On that day the CaEx choose a good deed out of a huge range. The deeds themselves should especially affect the surrounding of the camp. At the end those deeds will be published in local newspapers and media. For all foreign groups we intend to organise trips to different sights like the “National Park Hohe-Tauern” or the so called “Krimmler Wasserfälle”. Before or after the camp there will be the chance of “hospitality”. The foreign groups will be able to extend their stay and live with Scouts of Salzburg for a few days. A perfect possibility to get new friends and have a closer look on Salzburg’s sights. On the fifth day you are going to attend to different tasks and play games (some of them together, some of them against each other) in small, mixed teams of GuSp, CaEx and RaRo (10 to 13, 13 to 16 and 16 to 20 year old girl guides and boy scouts). At the end of the day there will be a culinary surprise. A highlight of the CaEx-Subcamp will be the central tent where you can join campfires, sing an play with the the other CaEx – sure you’ll get some new friends there. Another highlight and additionally programme:

The Day of good turn

Many people know the old devise of the scouts, to „do a good turn daily“. Though this sounds just like a positive cliché tot he most, we want to animate this motto for one day. On one of the four workshop days the Caravelles and Explorer dedicate their time and power this slogan. Across the camp site and troughout the Gastein valley and the closer region, the Scouts attend different projects to do good to the community and environment. We will work and spend time on different projects and will meet people of different origin and generations. The assignment takes place at the camp depending on age and abilities.
