Scouts Flock to Camp in Southwest Finland

This summer's biggest gathering of scouts in Finland began on Wednesday.

About 4,000 youth and children over age nine from the Helsinki region and from abroad are setting up tents in Jämijärvi, near Pori. The theme of the week-long Aihki camp is fighting climate change. Carbon emissions created by the camp will be offset by support for renewable energy projects in India. YLE
