Opportunities

With the International Scout Week (ISW), which takes place every summer, we want to make it possible for you to experience international Scout encounters at our national centre in Westernohe. You can decide for yourself whether you want to come with a partner group or spontaneously take part in the activities on offer, or whether you want to organize things creatively yourself and, for example, invite your camp neighbour group from another country to an afternoon of games. The International Working Group and the Westernohe Federal Centre have come up with a small handful of exciting programme items: Feel "arrived in the heart of the DPSG" at our get-to-know-you and welcome evening, enjoy the taste of the "international cooking pots" and get to know each other and your campfire cultures at the "International Campfire Evening".

Date: 1st - 7th of August

National Scout Camp

Each year 4000 Scouts from all over Germany meet at the DPSG’s national campsite in Westernohe, close to Frankfurt, to camp there together during the extended weekend of Pentecost. „Pentecoste in Westernohe“ (PiW) is a highlight in the DPSG Scouts‘ calender.

Every year there is the traditional „International Village“ organized by the international team of the DPSG. Great atmosphere and great offers, colourful and lively, this describes the International Village very accurately. We bring scouts from many countries to Westernohe, so that our members can get a taste of internationality on site and you have the opportunity to get to know our camp life.

You want to meet German scouts, share your camp recipes and culture, discover another country and much more? Then you've come to the right place!

• an individual representative (in the international village)
• a member of the Campstaff service team (no costs for food/accomodation)
• a group together with a German partner group (will be allocated to you)
• an individual group (a basic knowledge of the German language is obligatory)
