Chairman’s challenge 2025

Chairman’s challenge although competitive and difficult was also extremely fun and till this day one of the best camps I’ve ever been on. Some of the most memorable moments where when one of our patrol members fell of the raft in the most flamboyant way possible during the race. As well as having to constantly balance out the raft like a seesaw...

Kontiki 2025 – North Pole

Of all the Kontiki events I've attended, 2025 stood out as the most impressive and enjoyable.

Had an unforgettable 4-day adventure at scout camp with a group of incredible people! 🌲✨ It was a journey packed with learning and challenges that really pushed our limits.

The 4 musketeers

Compo Camp is one of the best and most enjoyable camps in scouts, however the Compo Camp my friends and I experienced in the winter of 2019 was a very different kind of “enjoyable”. Before I get into my experience, I would like to give you a very redundant piece of advice. Always, always plan and prepare before a camp. This is something I...
