Camp Nadiia 2025 took place from August 9–16 at HBO Winiec in Poland. Thanks to your generosity, it was a powerful week of international Scouting and friendship. A bus from Kyiv brought 48 Ukrainian Scouts and leaders to join Scouting America units from the United States—including Sea Scout Ship 99 (Utah), Sea Scout Ship 1701 (Texas), and Scouts from Troop 44 (Stuttgart, Germany). Our staff also included a UK Scout, and we camped alongside a large contingent of Polish Scouts.

The program offered abundant opportunities for team building and skill development: First Aid, knots, map and compass navigation, fire-making, and night hikes. Thanks to the Camp organizers and the participation of very experienced Scouting America Sea Scouts and Skippers, the camp provided robust aquatics program including swimming, sailing, and kayaking. As a service project, we planted 50 elderberry saplings for the local community.

The inaugural Camp Nadiia was held in August 2024 at HBO Winiec, a sailing school in Poland’s Gdansk region.

 Over 46 Ukrainian Scouts and their leaders participated in a week filled with traditional Scouting activities, including hiking, swimming, kayaking, sailing, campfire ceremonies, and service projects.

 The camp fostered teamwork, resilience, and lasting friendships while offering opportunities for personal growth and cultural exchange.

Thanks to generous donations from global supporters, the camp provided essential equipment and resources, ensuring a memorable experience for all participants.

 Camp Nadiia also emphasizes sustainability, with Scouts planting fruit trees as a lasting contribution to the environment.

We raised nearly $30,000 to send 33 Ukrainian Scouts to Camp Alpine at the Kandersteg International Scout Center. From woodworking and archery to high-altitude mountain hikes, these Scouts experienced the magic of the Swiss Alps.
