A little bit about Kajahus
Kajahus (meaning a loud clear noise) is the 11th regional scout camp organised by Lapin Partiolaiset (Scouts of Lapland) in the summer of 2019. The camp is held in late July (from the 22nd to the 28th) at Sarriojärvi near Kemijärvi, Lapland. Kajahus is going to be the largest camp ever in Lapland: we are expecting over a thousand participants! Kajahus is a meeting place for Lappish Scouts, Finnish Scouts, and International Scouts. Kajahus is a combination of a time gone by, of the present, and of days to come. Kajahus is a place for liveliness, experience, and enjoyment.
This site will be updated for all the necessary information about Kajahus.
