Home hospitality
Gives you shelter for a couple of days, when you need it!
What is Home Hospitality?
An absolutely main issue, for the Jamborette to provide along with good scouting experiences, was to create good relations and near friendships across any boarder in the world. This issue we know well from the great Jamborees.
The Rold Jamborette in the early years had a curtain opportunity concerning this important issue: Back then, you did not travel at will, so to speak - there was no arriving or leaving like now a' days;
Trains did not depart fore S?upsk, Budapest, Izmir, Naples, Al Jaz?'ir, Sevilla, Toulouse, Frankfurt, Gent, Rotterdam or Kingston-Upon-Hull every week - sometimes in at fourth night.
Therefore, days between arriving in Denmark and Camp opening was spent with local Danish families - in so called Home Hospitality.
Same thing happening when scouts and guides were to go home again, and waited fore their train to blow its steam flute, at the local train station.
Now a' days we could have scouts arriving on Tuesday, going home Wednesday to pick up extras of raincoats - in their own helicopter.
- We certainly do have great opportunities traveling 2006 - i.e. some of us!
What is inside the Home Hospitality offer now 'a days?
For those of scouts and guides that want to see and learn more about Denmark wail here; or for those who want to travel like in the past
- Home Hospitality is offered.
Fore scouts travelling great distances, maybe several days to join the Jamborette, the Home Hospitality families are ready to help you in any way we can, making your participation possible and nice.
i.e. help planning your journey, help finding camp gear and equipment to borrow on camp. Helping on arranging the visa if needed, and making sure you will have a nice family to stay with, before or after the camp. (Maybe both)
In all of 2006 the Camp Staff is hiring scout families for the HH-Department.
We focus on the families' connection with scouting in our division, and the fact that any HH-family most offer housing to at the least two scouts at the time.
We also focus on hiring families situated near each other.
We'll meet again.
August 3.th 2007, (the day after the last day at the Jamborette), we have arranged a Fare Well Banquette for all HH-Families to take place, at our division's 'Mott and Bailey' - a scouting centre, on Danish called: Kølhøjhus.
This assembly includes a happening; Making a little gift fore the 5 world Scouting Centres in the world - together.
The Camp supplies all materials needed.
