Outdoor activities really put the knowledge and skills of the scouts to the test. Winter camps and skiing tours in the midst of the snow is a thrilling experience. We would like to welcome you to be a part of that experience. Within these groups, you can make ever-lasting friendships, you learn to make joint decisions and to carry the responsibility for your choice. All age groups are represented in the troops, and they have many activities in common, like camps etc.
Most troops are open to both boys and girls.
In Finland, young people are given responsibility for troop leadership, and most leaders are recruited among existing members. The youngest members, the 7-10 year old cub scouts, are organized in flocks. Their activities are inspired by the so called adventure stories. Through this exciting imagery they learn the guiding principles of scouting, outdoor activities, environmental protection, service, how to develop their dexterity, and other matters of vital importance to children of their age. Under the guidance of the flock leader, these youngsters choose tasks corresponding to their level of knowledge and skills.
