YMCA YWCA Scouts of Bronnoysund in Norway biennially organizes the International Friendship Camp at the Opsjon Camp Center in Bronnoysund. This year the camp was held from 01 - 10 August with a participation of over 250 Scouts from Norway, Sweden, Rusia and Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan group consisted of 29 scouts and delegates representing Jaffna St. Jones College, Island Rovers Moratuwa, Mencap Nuwara Eleiya, YMCA of Pamunugama.
8 member group from Pamunugama included 3 scouts (Sinesh, Sahan, Maleesha), 1 Girl Guide (Janisha), Scout Leader (Dhanuka), One teacher (Uththara) and two students (Naduni, Tharusha) from Makalause Dream School for Specially Abled. Group left on 30th July and returned to Sri Lanka on 17th August 2019. Following the camp held from 1 - 10 August group enjoyed the home hospitality and site-seeing around beautiful city of Bronnoysund.
During the camp Pamunugama delegates had the opportunity to actively involve in camp activities such as hike, campfires and so many outdoor activities among other campers from Norway and other countries.
It was the first international exposure for the Makalause Dream School run by YMCA of Pamunugama together with Bronnosund Scouts and Y Global. Two students with the guidance of the teacher completed the visit with joy and so much of experiences. Leaving all the barriers behind they also actively involved with the camp activities and other programmes during their stay. On the last day in Norway our Scout friend from Asker visited the Pamunugama delegates and arranged a wonderful outing with dinner.
YMCA of Pamunugama wish to extend our gratitude to Bronnoysund Scouts and leaders including Kirsten and Jens Kristian who made this long journey a reality.
