The title is „Together 2023“

With the title „Together“ we want to express the cohesion in the small group, the scout community, but also in society as a whole, and deal with the topic „Together“ in an age-appropriate way. Tent camps in general and large camps in particular convey values ​​and skills such as environmental protection, independence, cohesion in the group and constant personal development to the participating children and teenagers. A camp is a learning field for many areas of life and also offers fun and adventure. Internationality is an important Scout aspect. At large camps we get to know people from all over the world. This is where friendships are formed that often last for a long time.

The camp takes place from 07.- 16. August

At TOGETHER `23 following age groups can participate:

• • • Brownies and Cubs (7-10 y/o) Upper Austrian Participants only
    • Scouts and Guides (10-13 y/o) Austrian Participants only
    • Caravelles and Explorers (13-16 y/o ) Austrian and international Participants
    • Rangers and Rovers (16-21 y/o) Austrian and international Participants

Currently we are expecting 300-500 workers.

Basically it is summer in August and summer in the Salzkammergut is beautiful. Nevertheless temperatures can be rather low at night and a jacket or sweater wouldn’t be bad – maybe even two over each other. Sometimes rainproof clothing and boots are necessary – but how is the saying: “there’s no bad weather – only bad equipment”. By the way: there has never been snow at the past 14 Jamborees.

Camp languages are German and English. For further languages we will find contact persons, who can help foreign participants.
