Every summer, Scouts and Guides go on adventures beyond their locality. They mostly camp in Belgium, where some municipalities become for two months the home of thousands of young people.
Through the “Charter for Camps”, we would like to reaffirm the importance of the camps for young people and that they must be conducted in respect of their environment, both human and natural .
This charter is the fruit of a reflection led by the Minister of Local Authorities, Francophone Youth Movements and the Union of Cities and Towns of Wallonia.
In 2011, Guiding and Scouting in Belgium took the initiative of translating it into Dutch, as well as supplementing it with an appendix presenting the framework for the organization of Dutch-speaking youth movements.
So that, in ten years, guides and scouts can always pass unforgettable camps.
