A troop weekend at Kavalahti Scout Center is the major event of this spring. We are going to spend a memorable weekend exploring nature, practicing outdoor skills, playing games and having fun. Kavalahti is a perfect place for indoor and outdoor activities. Saturday evening we are going to have a candle light dinner to celebrate Earth Hour.
Kavalahti is at Inkoo, about 30 min. from Espoo. We are going to have a bus transport on site. The hut is warm and cosy. It is fully equipped and quite new. Metropolitan Area Scouts is the owner of the venue.
This event is for everybody. Squirrel Day is on Sat March 28th. For squirrels and guardians we have program, lunch and afternoon snacl. Rest of us are from Friday 27th to Sun 29th at the camp site. Please register before Sun March 15th. We have to reserve resources (bus etc.), shop supplies and food and make the schedule beforehand and it takes time as we all work as volunteers.
Participation fee includes the venue rent, bus transportations, catering, program supplies and other costs.
