Would you like to contribute to the scouting program? Become a Cub Leader!

The Welpen run once a week on Saturday morning from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm. Outside these meetings, you as a leadership team prepare the program and the (weekend) camps.

Scouting Haagse Hout is affiliated with Scouting Nederland. It is a small association with about 60 youth members that focuses on the Bezuidenhout and Mariahoeve districts. The group consists of the game branches cubs, scouts and explorers and thus offers children from 7 to 18 a fun way to spend their time!
