Birds eye view of our two main fields, clubhouses and harbour

Our headquarters are ideally situated in the South of Amsterdam, on the edge of a three square kilometre lake. We have direct access to the Amsterdam canals and, across the lake, to a canal that enables us to go to three other large lakes, all within a two to four hours’ journey by boat.

The lake is surrounded by the ‘Amsterdamse Bos’, a large man-made forest with lots of woodland, open fields, a children’s farm etc.

Amsterdam City centre, Schiphol Airport and various shops are all within easy reach, due to the many forms of public transport in the vicinity of our clubhouses.

We have a fleet of steel flat-bottom boats, ‘lelievletten’, purposely designed for Scouting, each holding six to eight persons. They can be used to sail, row and scull and can't sink because of the built-in air chambers. Due to their basic design, the scouts do the maintenance work themselves, learning all about woodwork and painting at the same time.
