Elsdyrstammen Spejdergruppe invites children in the 0th and 1st grades to Bæverflokken, the beaver pack, where learning, play and social skills go hand in hand with time in nature. The children are introduced to basic scouting skills such as lighting a campfire and packing a rucksack for trips, and they learn how to look after nature and follow a 5 km marked trail.
The group sleeps out both indoors and outdoors, cooks its own food and heads into the woods to build dens and learn about the animals of the forest floor. Outings to Dyrehaven include a chance to hear red deer roaring. Much of the time is spent on friendship: how to help others, cooperate and be a good friend.
