A scout friend acts as a friend, facilitator and support for a child in need of special support who wants to be in the scouts. The scout friend participates in the scout activities with the child, helps where needed and maintains contact with the child, the family, the scout corps and the scout friend project.

The assignment is suitable for you who are over 15 years old and want to give a child the chance to be a scout. You do not need any prior knowledge and receive training and support in the assignment. The project is a collaboration with Finland Svenska Scouter (FiSSc).

If you are interested in becoming a scout buddy, you can fill out this form (in Swedish).

The Hippocampe is a terrain wheelchair that makes it possible for everyone to get out into nature. The Hippocampe can be used on the beach, in the forest and in nature. It is comfortable and can be adjusted for the user.

SAMS vänverksamhet together with Finlands Svenska Scouter (FiSSc), has received a grant from Aktiastiftelsen i Esbo-Grankulla to acquire the Hippocampe. It can be used by children who have a scout friend via SAMS vänverksamhet. When not in use there, others can borrow it.

Check the calendar when the wheelchair is available and book it via this link.
