We offer diverse scouting activities for everyone from children to adults. Our meeting place, known as kolo (&#8220;den&#8221;), is located in the downstairs of Varissuo Church at Kousankatu 6, 20610 Turku. You can find meeting times and group contact details in the <a href=\"https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/en\/join-us\/ryhmat\/\">Groups <\/a>section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Scouting?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Scouting is a global youth movement with around 45 million members in over 200 countries. In Finland, approximately 65,000 scouts take part in activities each year. Scouting is full of friendship, adventure, experiences in nature, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During meetings, hikes, and camps, we learn new age-appropriate skills such as cooking, crafting, orienteering, outdoor skills, first aid, and teamwork \u2013 without forgetting play and fun. We spend a lot of time outdoors, and on camps we often sleep outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most scouting activities are organized by volunteers, and this is also the case in Tavastin Liljat. Everyone is welcome to join, regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnic background. Our activities are non-denominational and politically non-aligned. Our background organization is the Katariina Parish (Lutheran Church of Finland).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As stated by the Guides and Scouts of Finland, the aim of scouting is <em>\u201cto raise young people who have balanced personalities and lifestyles, are responsible and active, and think independently as members of local, national and international communities.\u201d<\/em> All of this is guided by the scouting programme, which you can explore further on the <a href=\"https:\/\/scouts.fi\/guiding-and-scouting\/\">Scouts&#8217; website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scout values<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The values of scouting are reflected in the scout ideals. A scout strives to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>respect others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>love and protect the environment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>be reliable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>build friendship across boundaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>feel one\u2019s responsibility and to take action<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>develop oneself as a human being<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>search for truth in life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What does scouting cost?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You are welcome to try scouting for free for three meetings. After that, you need to become a registered member. You can find instructions in the <a href=\"https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/en\/join-us\/membership\/\">Membership <\/a>section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The annual membership fee for 2026 is 69.50\u20ac. Our groups meet once a week, and in addition, we organize trips and camps 2\u20133 times a year. The membership fee covers weekly activities, but trips and camps have a separate participation fee. For example, a two-night autumn or spring camp typically costs around 30\u20ac in our group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Membership also includes benefits such as <a href=\"https:\/\/scouts.fi\/contact-information\/scout-insurance\/\">Scout insurance<\/a>, discounts in outdoor stores (e.g. Scandinavian Outdoor Store), and the regional Scout magazine <em>Repolainen<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The central organization, the Guides and Scouts of Finland, may grant exemptions from the membership fee on financial, health, or social grounds \u2013 see more information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/scouts.fi\/contact-information\/membership-fees-and-invoicing\/\">Scouts&#8217; website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about anything related to scouting, you can contact the age group leaders or TaLi&#8217;s leader<br>Mette H\u00e4meenaho (+358 45 2781298 \/ <a>mette.hameenaho@partio.fi<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"409\" src=\"https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri-1024x409.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri-1024x409.png 1024w, https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri-300x120.png 300w, https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri-768x306.png 768w, https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri-640x255.png 640w, https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri-1200x479.png 1200w, https:\/\/tavastinliljat.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/179\/2026\/01\/Logobanneri.png 1416w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"figure cross\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"107\" height=\"47.043\" viewBox=\"0 0 107 47.043\">\n\t\t    <g>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M29.916 6.541L23.349 0l-8.39 8.417L6.541 0 0 6.541l8.39 8.417L0 23.375l6.541 6.541 8.417-8.39 8.39 8.39 6.568-6.541-8.416-8.417z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(17.127)\"\/>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M15.253 11.446A24.159 24.159 0 0 1 9.034 0L0 2.064a33.488 33.488 0 0 0 8.632 15.87l.08.08s.617.617 1.474 1.662l7.238-5.79c-1.099-1.341-1.93-2.198-2.171-2.44z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(.429 60.519)\"\/>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M16.218 6.648L9.758 0A33.429 33.429 0 0 0 0 18.738l9.141 1.474a23.953 23.953 0 0 1 7.077-13.564z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(0 30.828)\"\/>\n\t\t        <path d=\"M.161 3.163A21.712 21.712 0 0 1 1.5 10.481 19.441 19.441 0 0 1 0 17.907l8.578 3.538a28.792 28.792 0 0 0 2.2-10.964A30.739 30.739 0 0 0 8.873 0z\" transform=\"rotate(-90 23.522 23.521) translate(15.285 85.555)\"\/>\n\t\t    <\/g>\n\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":445,"featured_media":0,"parent":277,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-260","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
