Hello and welcome to the "Stamm der Vaganten" website.
In the following video you can see what scouts actually are
and what's going on in our "Stamm".
BDP, is this contagious?
There are many scout associations in Germany.
The Verein Christlicher Pfadfinder, the Deutsche Pfadfinderschaft St. Georg,
the Pfadfinderinnenschaft St. Georg, the Bund Deutscher Pfadfinder
and Bund der Pfadfinderinnen und Pfadfinder, to which we, "Stamm der Vaganten", also belong.
This association was founded in 1975 and today has around 30,000 members.
Who was this Robert again?
Lord Robert Baden-Paul founded the Scout movement in England in 1907.
This came to Germany four years later and today there are around 50 million scouts worldwide.
In Germany alone there are around 260,000.
About us
Our Stamm, which currently has around 90 members, was founded in 1952.
We are a member of the Hesse regional association and everything for us is based on volunteer work and youth work.
We are supported, among other things, by our "Förderverein".
What is a Stamm (tribe)?
In the BDP the local group is called a "Stamm".
The "Stamm" is divided into the following age groups.
The cub level, the boy scout level and the ranger and rover level.
Our "Stamm" is led by the leadership group.
The cub stage.
In the pack level are our youngest members, the cubs.
We are between 6 and 12 years old.
We meet once a week to do crafts and play.
The name of our group is “Meute Lupus” and there are around 20 children.
We are looked after by our pack leadership.
The Boy Scout level.
In the scout level, the groups are called "Sippen".
The group members, the "Sipplinge", are between 12 and 16 years old.
The "Sipplinge" are looked after by the clan leadership.
Once a week the whole group meets at the location and does an individual program.
The Ranger & Rover stage
The oldest in the "Stamm" are the Rangers and Rovers.
The level is for ages 16 and up, so most RRs are active as group leaders.
The group lessons are organized by the groups themselves.
Trips? Camp?
Individual groups or, for example, the entire "Stamm" go on trips and camps.
During a trip you are somewhere different every day.
However, with a camp you spend your time in one place.
