International Opportunities
International Scout Week
With the International Scout Week (ISW), which takes place every summer, we want to make it possible for you to experience international Scout encounters at our national centre in Westernohe. You can decide for yourself whether you want to come with a partner group or spontaneously take part in the activities on offer, or whether you want to organize things creatively yourself and, for example, invite your camp neighbour group from another country to an afternoon of games. The International Working Group and the Westernohe Federal Centre have come up with a small handful of exciting programme items: Feel "arrived in the heart of the DPSG" at our get-to-know-you and welcome evening, enjoy the taste of the "international cooking pots" and get to know each other and your campfire cultures at the "International Campfire Evening".
2022
Date: 1st - 7th of August
Location: National Campsite Westernohe, Germany (Zum Weitstein 50, 56479 Westernohe)
Price: 30€ for central program only
We are looking forward to connecting many DPSG groups and scout groups from abroad and to welcome you all in Westernohe in 2022. You can already look forward to a great week together, for which you can plan your own camp as well as take part in the intercultural framework program of the International Working Group (IAK) of the DPSG with an opening evening, intercultural saucepan evening and camp party evening during which you will have the chance to make many international contacts. The DPSG groups can apply for grants for the international encounter for both their DPSG group and the partner group from abroad. If you are interested or you have any questions about the funding, just contact the International Office: international

Pentecost in Westernohe
National Scout Camp
Each year 400 Scouts from all over Germany meet at the DPSG’s national campsite in Westernohe, close to Frankfurt, to camp there together during the extended weekend of Pentecost. „Pentecoste in Westernohe“ (PiW) is a highlight in the DPSG Scouts‘ calender.
Every year there is the traditional „International Village“ organized by the international commission of the DPSG. Great atmosphere and great offers, colourful and lively, this describes the International Village very accurately. We bring scouts from many countries together in Westernohe, so that our members can get a taste of internationality on site and you have the opportunity to get to know our camp life.
You want to meet German scouts, share your camp recipes and culture, discover another country and much more? Then you've come to the right place!
