In 1966 "Rheindahlen District", a part of British Scouts Western Europe, organized the "Rheindahlen District Scout Camp" on the airfield at Wegberg Hospital, near to Mönchengladbach. A local German Scout Troop (D.P.S.G Rabenhorst, Mönchengladbach) and a Dutch Scout Troop (Scouting Nederland Wellerlooi) were invited to participate in the camp. This camp was a great success and friendships were formed.

The following year, Piet Deckers from Wellerloi and Fred Wurm from Mönchengladbach agreed to organize a reciprocal camp. The first INTERCAMP as such, which as already named INTERCAMP, took place at Wellerlooi in the Netherlands on the whitsun weekend 1967. From this beginning, the idea of an annual International Scout camp over Whitsun Weekend has been nurtured and has grown into the current cult status of INTERCAMP.

The annual international Scout camp is usually restricted to between 2000 and 3000 participants, from (currently) eight invited nations:

Americans (BSA), Belgians (FOS), British (BSWE), Canadians (SC), Dutch (SN), French (SGdF), Germans (DPSG) and Czech (JUNAK).

The camp is held each year over the Whitsun weekend from Friday until Monday. Each year, a different "Nation" is responsible for the hosting and organization of the camp.

All camps are approved by the Intercamp Committee (on which each nation is represented), who meet three times each year. Each of the participating Scout Associations can organize the camp and act as host nation. The host nation provides a suitable campsite and its infrastructure, including finances, catering arrangements for a Service Team, and arranges a attractive Scout programme which is approved by the Intercamp Committee. National and local distinctions should be considered to ensure new impressions in every camp. "Every INTERCAMP is different..."

The Service Team is an international team of Scout Leaders and grown up Scouters, who prepares and realises the programm, keep the infrastructure running, in short terms assures INTERCAMP beeing a success. The camp leadership is taken by the hosting nation.

If you want to become a part of this Service Team ask your national representative for further information. We are happy about all assistance...

The general aim of the INTERCAMP is the development of international goodwill and frienship through a weekend Scout camp and carrying out a programme guided by the scouting principles supporting team-work and sympathy.Therefore each organizing Scout Association will produce a programme on a more specific theme
