USEFUL SCOUTING SKILLS
The scout, as a resourceful maker, learns to be inventive and to make creations from natural as well as artificial materials. Through useful skills, he is taught to be “Eso Ready”, i.e. always prepared to face anything, at any time. In our booth, you will find various pioneer camping techniques, as well as crafts and demonstrations of basic knots and connections.
Scouting is a voluntary educational movement with global action, open to all, without discrimination. The purpose is to contribute to the proper education and development of the youth with an emphasis on outdoor life so that they can fully utilize their physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual abilities as individuals and also integrate smoothly into society as responsible citizens.

WOODWORKING ACTIVITIES
In today’s media world, it can be very satisfying to use our hands, some tools, and our creativity to create a tangible work of art. Working with wood is a wonderful medium to express our ideas and create something special. We are a group of individuals driven by a passion for woodworking, child development, the environment, and sustainability.
In our workshops children as young as five will have a successful woodworking experience if they are allowed to master one skill at a time. Participants will use real, child-sized tools, nurturing their creativity to produce unique masterpieces. We emphasize safety as well as the pleasure of making unique items. Each child produces their own projects and all completed woodwork pieces are taken home by the children.
Our education philosophy is that all children are unique and should have a stimulating educational environment where they can develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.
