  • Invitation Dresden 2016
    WELCOME TO THE 18 TH ANNUAL GATHERING OF THE FRIENDS OF SCOUTING IN EUROPE Dresden, Germany - 6 th through 9 th October 2016 . This year, we have been invited to visit a country which does not exist. How so? In spite of the fact that a quarter of a century has passed since the fall of the Berlin wall and the re-unification of Germany, you will still find a lot of cultural and economical differences between the “Old West” and the “Old East”. One remarkable example of this is attributed to Scouting - only some 1.400 scouts are found in the whole of the German state of Sachsen - an area almost half the size of countries like Switzerland, the Netherlands, or Denmark - holding a population of roughly 4,250,000. During your four days in this corner of the bygone DDR, you will have an extensive lesson on European history, with a special focus on the occasionally extremely turbulent period taking its beginning during the last days of WWII. All, of course, accompanied by the unbeatable company of other Friends of Scouting. Who can participate? All Friends of Scouting in Europe and their adult family members are welcome, and so are their friends. Availability of accommodation as well as transportation may force organizers to limit the number of participants, therefore be sure to book as early as possible. First come first served. Travel arrangements International flights to Dresden are quite numerous, and also include low-fare operators such as Germanwings (refer to germanwings.com), Air Berlin (refer to airberlin.com) and EasyJet (refer to easyjet.com).To get the best price, it would, however, be advisable too book your flight as early as possible ..
