Coorperation Scouts with Buisness (for inspiration)

In Denmark some farmers open their doors 2 a year - to invite people to visit a farm.

The latest years - Arla - who arrange - think it has been to much like an amusement day - and not the day it was supposted to be from start  - a day in nature.

Therefore - Arla - has made an arrangement - where the scouts comes and makes things in the nature,

The scoutgroups gets 5.000 DKK (almost 1000 US $) to buy supplies for the day - and what the scout group buy - is their gift to participate.

Besides the scouts get free P.R. to join this day

We had a workshop last weekend to exchange ideas - and to do the scheduale for the day. The day will run 17. April.

The farm where my scoutgroup will be will probably get 3.000 visitors. Most farms will have around 1.000 visitors.
