Our scout centre project Mr. Hans-Christian Habermann
supported us. Without the substantial support of Mr. Hans -
Christian Habermann from the last 3 years this project could
Sponsors: not have come to life and certainly would not have been
where it is right now
Thanks to the substantial
support received from our
supporters from 2010 and
until 2012 the scout centre
managed to host a total of
over 1000 children and
young people who have
experienced the non-formal
education through The Scout
Method. Also, a total of 200
adults participated in
trainings organized until now
in this location.
Therefore, with the received support we were able to renovate the entire house both
inside and outside, to have a functional barn for activities, to have functional summer
showers that are equipped with solar panels, to buy and give in use the treatment plant for
the toilets and the showers from the house, to support a permanent employee, an
administrator of the scout centre, who can ensure its functionality. In 2012 we managed to
renovate the wall from the street, the facade, we managed to restore the gate with a lily
flower, we assembled the cellar doors and we renovated the wood shelter.
Thanks to the support received in 2012 we are now working at a construction for the
camping which is consisting of camping toilets, showers and sinks that will ensure hygiene
and comfort for the scouts and the guests of the scout centre.
