Landslejr 2026
Our Danish adventure is over once again and we have said our goodbyes to the Danes until the next time we meet
We have had an amazing Landslejr and equally amazing time in Denmark, the boys left Scotland as boys but have come home as young men having made some new friends and met up with friends they already knew from last year, they have tried new things, learned new skills and made memories which will last a lifetime
The Danes have a saying which is - we play together, the key word here is together and we have all learned that doing things together is a strong bond which achieves many spectacular results, our boys have faced their fears with many situations while we were in Denmark and stepped out of their comfort zone on many different occasions, but they did it with strength and courage and our leaders are all very proud of them for sticking with it
Our Landslejr logo this year was called Mærk Magien which translates to feel the Magic and a magical time away was exactly what our boys and our leaders had
So what will I take away from my time at camp, well this is my second Landslejr and my forth time meeting up with the Danes and each time as I get to know them better I learn a little more from them but I am always reminded that the simple way of life is way better than life being complicated, FDF groups do a lot outdoors and camping is a huge regular event for them, camp life takes you out of your comfort zone and home comforts you become so used to and reliant upon, but it also opens your eyes to simplicity and to the beauty of nature and our planet. And there is nothing more rewarding than that
So until we meet again we say to our family at FDF Stovorde Slejlflod tak for mal, your company and friendship
May God keep you all safe until we can be together again
