Welcome to Bad Lippspringe

Welcome to Bad Lippspringe one of North Rhine East Westphalia's most treasured towns. Situated between the Egge Highlands, the Teutoburger Forest and Senne Heath-‐lands with a population of 15,000, it’s the ideal place to take part in many activities from Hiking to Biking and other outdoor sports. It boasts three springs with healthy natural waters. Bad Lippspringe is a well known for its Spa and Health resort. Due to its mild climate, there are many clinics and hotels who offer convalescence and health treatment, specialising for people with respiratory illnesses. This Year the British Scouts Overseas have taken on the role of organising the Camp. As we looked around to build a team, we found that there are not too many British Scouts around Germany these days and those who are here, are spread around the distant corners of sunny Germany. But a Core Team has been found and they have been supported by a several willing helpers, without whom we would have struggled to keep up and get this far. A special thank you to the sweet talking sunny boy Robin for organising sponsors, and supporters of equipment. Thanks to: Mookie fun toys. Shildkrote sports suppliers. Mr Tomas Brady for the Irish Skittles. Lister School Herford. Scouts and Leaders of the DPSG Herford. Jurgen Sticklebrock. Deutche Verein Highland Games. The Circus Funtastic and many more ... Eyes and ears tingle with sensation, Gathered here many scouts from many nations, Banners, flags songs and chants, Come together to work play and dance, Once a year in a new place, Memories to treasure and reflect, See the flags fly in the wind, Intercamp begins, IC Intercamp, Intercamp is ok, IC Intercamp, Intercamp is ok, IC Intercamp, Intercamp is ok.

Best of Britain Intercamp 2014

Camp Theme and Program

The purpose of Intercamp is to provide a safe, fun-‐filled activity for the members of the international scouting community. The theme for this years Intercamp is “Best of Britain”. The theme includes activities from the four areas of Great Britain, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, another area to visit will be the Village green, (plaza) where you can chill or play games. Parts of these activity areas will be run by professionals who bring all the equipment to deliver an authentic experience to you. Participants are encouraged to indulge in the many team and challenging games offered by the Intercamp Support Team (IST) volunteers. Scouts will spend one day having fun at the many different stations and one day enjoying a themed hike. Some of the skills to learn will include Touch Rugby, Highland Games, Juggling, Pioneering, lashings, orienteering and other mystery team building events. We ask all groups who attend to bring a box containing objects with information on their Group and City or Town. These Objects can include anything from pamphlets, Neckers, badges, letters, tins or packets of food and anything which can be associated with their origins. This box should then be sealed and decorated to look like a stone and then, at a certain stage of the Opening Ceremony, will be used to build a wall. This wall is not a symbol of boundaries or boarders but to symbolise working together. At the Closing Ceremony, each group will be allowed to take home a piece of the wall (i.e. one box and the contents inside can be used to make contact with the original owner). The concept of this year’s Intercamp is Team Work. The Scouts will be asked to integrate with Groups of other nations to create an environment where they can learn how to work with people who speak a different language and have a different cultural background. Group Leaders are encouraged to ensure that this will work. The Groups are invited to join the camp on Friday the 6th June from 12:00 hrs; earlier arrivals must liaise with the Intercamp Committee. Each group will be nominated a Sub-‐Campsite. Once they you have set up, it will be a good idea to get to know your neighbours. Leaders please encourage this, maybe you can offer to help other groups to set up who arrive later than?

Saturday will begin with a ‘short’ Opening Ceremony. Then 3 of the 6 Sub-‐Camps will start the Hike and visit the Plaza whilst the other Sub-‐Camps proceed to the on-‐site activities. There are 4 Activity Areas, each representing a country found in the British Isles. Teams will be formed using coloured bands, which will be given to the leaders at registration. Each team should consist of 16 scouts plus at least 2 Leaders. These Teams should be made up of at the least 4 nationalities. We will need Team Leaders to lead teams over the weekend. Team Leaders will be given a card which will tell them which Activity Area they should be in and at what time, these cards will be coloured coded card. The teams will be formed directly after the Opening Ceremony. The reason the activities have been organised this way is to avoid every group going to one Activity Area at the same time, resulting in long queues, especially as we are using outside sources for the Highland Games activity and a Youth Circus Workshop. We are trying to motivate team work and barrier breaking. It is always too easy to give in to young scouts who say they don't want to be separated from their friends but with 4 members from their group this should avoid that situation, which is only really a sign of a lack of self confidence. One of the main aims of Scouting is to cross boarders and build self confidence. Leaders should discuss this within their groups before Intercamp and explain what the aim of Intercamp is. Each Team will then visit the country which their card directs them too. The Activities: The Activities will be stationed in five categories,

1) The Village green representing England. 2) The Highlands Scotland. 3) Welsh Valleys Wales. 4) Irish Fields Ireland. 5) The Fete Plaza.

The Plaza is reserved in the first instance for those groups doing the Hike.

7

Hike Activities Hike Each day half of the Sub-‐Camps will conduct a hike with multiple activity stations on each hike.

Scouts will be navigating a 14 Km hike. The hike will take them through woods and the town and will require a series of tasks and challenges to be completed. Scouts should carry adequate water as well as their scouting essentials.

Each Scout will need food and drink with them and a small amount of money for refreshments in the town. Each group will need a phone with a camera facility on it. You will be given a map, the set of challenges and the task card. On completion of all of the challengers the group leader will take the task card and the photos to the Post Office to collect your hike badges. The challenges are at manned stations that the groups will find along the hike route. The aims of the challenges are: to have fun and work as a group.

Registration on Arrival. Before arriving at the Camp site you should have been informed which Sub-‐Camp you are on. Check the Web site before leaving home. You will on arrival be guided straight to your Sub-‐Camp by the Security. At your Sub-‐Camp, report to the Sub-‐Camp Staff they will allocate your Camping area. Failing to do this might result in you having to move again. When reporting to the Sub-‐Camp Staff, inform them as to any changes of your Troop’s numbers. If there are any changes the Sub-‐Camp staff will send you to the Registration Tent where you should pay any outstanding costs and correct numbers and names list (this is to prevent any disappointment when you de-‐register that you are missing some badges). The Camp site is big and easy to control only if you as troops follow any instructions given to you by the IST Security. We have done our best to plan the camp site so that you can drive on unload and drive off with minimum of fuss and waiting time. In the case that you do not know which Sub-‐Camp you are on there will be notice boards at the entrance with the relevant information. Have a good and enjoyable Intercamp.

Please remember that the IST Staff that have worked all weekend are volunteers and are here for your benefit. Some of them will not get home before Wednesday after clearing the site. Be nice to them, shake their hands and say ‘Thank you’.
