But not only that, they have also stocked up on plasters for blistered feet, suncream and ear-plugs that will be especially useful to both the visitors and the local residents at the festival and are selling these on the street in front of the shop in the Vorstadt (pedestrian precinct).

International Scout Camp at the Hessentag

June 11, 2011 By 2 Comments

The local catholic (DPSG) and interconfessional (BdP) Scout districts have joined forces for the Hessentag in Oberursel to hold an international Scout Camp.

83 members of the two organisations and their guests from Epinay in France and Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina are camped on a field that is located between the Marxstraße and the Altkönigsportplatz which is accessible from a path that goes between the Red Cross and Fire Brigade buildings, and from the Mühlenwanderweg.

Guests are welcome, and today the Scouts were offering workshops for the visiting children such as singing, cloth-dying (batik), tracking, pioneering and making twists.
