Suunta 12°

Suunta 12° is a traditional Finnish scout camp organized by the Lake Area Scouts and Guides. The camp is located most probably at the best scout camp area in the whole Finland. The area consists of beautiful pinery next to stunning lake beaches and the beautiful Lake Saimaa. The camp program is aimed to be an attractive combination of traditional and modern scout skills.

The program is divided into four activity areas: handicraft, waterplay, science, and motion. The camp is expected to host about 1500 participants. The international guests are welcome to the camp. If interested of the camp you can either contact our secretary of international affairs or any local group of Lake Area Scouts and Guides.
