Autumn in the park

Autumn has arrived, and with it cold weather.  The last week has been really cold, but at the weekend it warmed up enough to go out for a walk in the woods and visit the playground.  It was strange to see that the trees are still green, and yet due to the cold weather they have lost a lot of them and the ground is covered with the brown leaves more typical of autumn.

Having settled into our new flat we are now trying to re-let the old one – not an easy task, especially as it is difficult to find a painter to come and decorate it first!

DPSG

DPSG stands for Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg.  In Germany there is more than one Scouting organisation, who together make up the officially recognised Ring deutscher Pfadfinderverbände.  The DPSG is a Catholic Scout organisation.

The DPSG was formed in 1929 – 22 years after the first Scout Camp in England.  The four sections are called Wölflinge, Jungpfadfinder, Pfadfinder and Rover. The leaders are called Leiter and Leiterinnen.  The organisation is divided into Diözesen – the Catholic Diocese areas, eg. the Diözese Mainz.
