Plast scouts joined the camp in Lithuania

This July, a group of Plast Scouts joined the “Mission: Indians” camp in Lithuania, organised by the Plungės skautai

For over two weeks, around 180 young people shared camp life, learned from one another, and built friendships that crossed borders.

The camp was inspired by the traditions of Indigenous tribes, with patrol challenges, hikes, creative workshops, campfires, outdoor adventures, and plenty of teamwork. But what will stay with us the longest isn’t a particular activity, it’s the people we met along the way.

Scouting has a unique way of bringing young people together. Throughout the camp, Ukrainian and Lithuanian Scouts exchanged traditions, shared experiences, and discovered how much they have in common despite speaking different languages.

Moments like these remind us that Scouting always builds friendships, people learn from each other, and strengthen a movement that reaches far beyond national borders.

A heartfelt thank you to the Plungė Scout Association for hosting this unforgettable experience, and to everyone who helped make it possible: Anastasia, Seržas Staponkus, Šarūnas Montvilas, Žydrūnas, and Kristina Pilitauskas.

See you around the next campfire!
