SCENES

Camping with care for nature

We are currently in the final stages of the process to become part of the global SCENES-network (Scout Centres of Excellence for Nature, Environment and Sustainability). This certification, awarded by the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM), highlights our commitment to nature conservation, sustainability, and environmentally friendly management of our site. Although the process is still ongoing, we are close to receiving official recognition.

What does this mean for you as a camper?

Outdoor play offers children the perfect opportunity to embark on adventures and discover the world around them. Exploring together, swimming, running through the forest, or getting messy in the mud — each experience opens the door to new discoveries. Every adventure helps children develop a deeper understanding of their environment, the ecosystem, and the world they live in.
As a scout, you can take part in unique (nature-based) activities, such as assisting in scientific research or learning more about local biodiversity. Moreover, all our programs are aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that together we make a positive impact.

Building a Sustainable Future Together

Our volunteers and campers play a crucial role in preserving and improving our site. Whether it’s planting trees, creating hedgerows, or saving water and energy — together, we are building a better world. Behind the scenes, we are constantly working on green initiatives, such as:

Waste separation and recycling

Maintaining flora and fauna with respect for biodiversity

Using green energy and sustainable materials
