Scouting’s Sunrise
I got up early yesterday and drove to the top of the Feldberg. I was on the lookout for Scouts celebrating the 100th anniversary of the very first Scout camp, and therefore 100 years of Scouting itself.
I had received a hot tip, that there would be some there, and although I didn’t find the group that I was expecting to, members of the DPSG from Idstein were there and did celebrate at exactly 8am local time.
They lit a fire, flew the DPSG flat and renewed their promises – each one striking their troop bell afterwards.
It was a simple but moving experience, that was repeated around the World.
I returned home in time to listen to a live audio transmission of the same ceremony taking place on Brownsea Island in Dorset [Link] and later in the day was able to watch this online.
Die Mitfahrzentrale
The Mitfahrzentrale is a place that allows you to find someone travelling to somewhere that you want to go, eg. in a car, and to travel with them in return for paying part of the costs. Alternatively, you can offer to take someone with you in your car and reduce your own costs.
