Østerhøj-Måløv Gruppe

Project partners

CNAM scouting group and Østerhøj-Måløv group became friends in April 2010 when a group of 19 scouts and scout leaders from CNAM group came to Denmark to join the National KFUM Jamboree in July 2010. Afterwards a 5 days homestay at the scouts in Måløv had been arranged. There was visits to Copenhagen, the Viking Museum in Roskilde, a trip to the leisure parc Bakken and of cause also scouting activities in Måløv with a big camp fire to celebrate the partnership and to thank families and friends for hosting the homestays. Friendships were made for life.

Both groups wanted to make more activities together and decided to try to find funding or sponsoring to support the idea of expanding the partnership and also to make a project that could benefit both groups and open up new possibilities for the youth. This being possibilities for youth that has not yet joined the scouting movement.
