WINGS2009 is an international camp open to any member of the Scouts, Girl Scouts or GirlGuiding whose national Organisation is a member of either the World Organisation of Scout Movements (WOSM) or of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). The event is open to all female or male members who are aged 10 or more on 1 August 2009. There will be a full programme for all from 10 to 25 as well as a programme for Adult Leaders. |

It will be a fabulous week of fun, international friendship and adventure. In 2003 one participant said "It was absolutely fantastic. I will certainly come back in 2009 as a young leader or Ranger. I got to do so many new and exciting things and I met so many people from all around the world - it was great. It was a shame it ended. ... I wish WINGS was every 2 or 3 years instead of every 6 years", another said simply "it was the best week of my life". |

It is too early to say what all of the activities will be. We will be building on the great successes of previous WINGS so I am sure there will be some of the great favourites from WINGS2003, WINGS'98 and WINGS'93 and some spectacular brand new ideas to match the start of the second hundred years of Scouting and Guiding. |

At WINGS2009 you will camp in tents with all the facilities, showers, toilets etc laid on. Of course there will be so much going on you probably won't see too much of your tent. A briefing sheet for Unit Leaders is available in the UnitZONE after you have registered your interest.
