A weekend in Sonsbeck

Last weekend I was invited to take part in a camp for former leaders and helpers of the Scout Group in the town of Sonsbeck, in the Niederrhein part of Germany.
Although I was never an actual member of that particular group, I have been in contact with them for the past 23 years and have visited them regularly throughout that time.
Find out why, and what happened at the camp, in this week’s podcast:

DPSG

DPSG stands for Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft Sankt Georg. In Germany there is more than one Scouting organisation, who together make up the officially recognised Ring deutscher Pfadfinderverbände. The DPSG is a Catholic Scout organisation.
The DPSG was formed in 1929 – 22 years after the first Scout Camp in England. The four sections are called Wölflinge, Jungpfadfinder, Pfadfinder and Rover. The leaders are called Leiter and Leiterinnen. The organisation is divided into Diözesen – the Catholic Diocese areas, eg. the Diözese Mainz.
