Explo event for Explorers
Explo is a national event for Explorers every three years. In the event, Explorers have a chance to strengthen the team spirit of their patrol and at the same time create new friendships all over Finland.
Explo unites all the best features of Scouting: the team spirit of camp life, a welcoming atmosphere, doing together and an interesting programme from which you can select your preference. You will get to know other Explorers while enjoying an energetic but relaxed festival-like atmosphere. Explo is for dreaming, learning and having an adventure.
In brief: Explo is a weekend spectacle that is created without compromises – only for Explorers.
The next Explo will be organized in 2023.
Rover and Ranger event
This is a national annual event for Rovers and Rangers.
The Rover and Ranger event promotes networking in the age group and gives an opportunity to be a participant instead of an organiser.
Johtajatulet for Leaders
Johtajatulet is a seminar focusing on better leadership – held in a forest. The event is for all Scouts over 18 as well as other adults who are interested in leadership. No earlier experience in Scouting is required. Johtajatulet has been organised in August 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2021 in Evo, Hämeenlinna.
The programme includes various workshops, speakers and great experiences. Earlier visiting speakers of Johtajatulet include, for example, Bruce J. Oreck, Risto Siilasmaa, Peter Vesterbacka and Minna Karhunen.
