Arywaves 2008
Ayrwaves 2008 will be an exciting event bringing together Guides from around the world. Taking place in the summer of 2008 this international outdoor camp will provide Guides with the opportunity to participate in many activities, meet new friends, learn new skills and have lots of fun in the picturesque setting of Eglinton Country Park.
Ayrwaves 2008 is being organised by Girlguiding Ayrshire North, the same

the success of Ayrwaves 2004.
Scottish Trips in 2008

Scottish Trips in 2007
In 2007, there were some amazing Scottish trips organised to the 
following international camps:
July 28 - August 5, Life 07 National Jamboree, Denmark
We joined the Green Girl Guides in Denmark at their National Jamboree 2007. We shared the spirit of Guiding with 4000 girl guides and girl scouts from Denmark and the rest of the world. Read about Scottish girls' experiences.
Jiingijamborii! 14 to 22 July, Sweden
In summer 2007, Sweden's Scouts and Guides gathered on the fields of Rinkaby for Jiingijamborii - the second Swedish National Jamboree. 23,000 participants worked and played together. Its goal was to offer participants the very best of Swedish Scouting. Read Scottish members' thoughts on the camp here.
Campa Le Chéile, 7 -14 July 2007, Ireland
Campa Le Chéile was the 2007 International Camp of The Irish Girl Guides. The pronounciation of the Camp name is 'Camp-a-Le-Kay-la' (which means 'Camping Together' when translated from the Irish language) but luckily the official language of the camp is English. The camp's theme was 'Celebrating Cultural Diversity' and our members' comments show it's aim was definitely achieved.
Uk and World Camps
Every year, there are a large number of camps held in the UK and across the world. Many of the larger camps are open to Guides and Scouts.
