Scottish Master Guides Embrace Leadership, Faith, and Adventure at TED Camp
Scottish Master Guides joined fellow leaders from across Europe at the TED Camp in Hungary for a week of spiritual growth, leadership development, cultural exchange, and unforgettable fellowship.
The recent TED Master Guide Camp held in the picturesque village of Bózsva, Hungary, proved to be an unforgettable experience for all who attended. Set amidst the lush forests and scenic hills of northern Hungary, the camp combined learning, leadership development, and cultural immersion in a vibrant and supportive environment.
Highlights of the Camp
Inspiring Speaker
A major highlight of the camp was the presence of Pastor Wayne Erasmus who shared powerful insights on leadership, service, spiritual growth, and challenged those attending to lead with purpose. The messages resonated with attendees and sparked meaningful conversations that continued long after each session ended.
Skill-Building Activities
The camp offered a wide range of practical and engaging activities, designed to equip Master Guides with tools for effective ministry and personal development. Workshops on camping skills, risk management, cultural diversity, skill exchange, and team-building not only boosted participants’ confidence but also created opportunities to apply their knowledge in real-life scenarios.
Cultural Experience
Participants were treated to delicious traditional Hungarian meals, which added a unique local flavour to the overall experience. Meals were more than just nourishment—they were moments of connection, storytelling, and shared laughter.
Fun and Fellowship
Beyond the workshops and sessions, the camp provided ample opportunities for relaxation and bonding. Evening socials, icebreakers, and games brought attendees together in celebration and friendship.
Overcoming Challenges
Despite the overwhelmingly positive experience, the journey to and from Bózsva came with its fair share of challenges. Some participants encountered significant travel issues, including missed flights and challenging airline experiences such as delays and poor customer service. A number of attendees were even forced to sleep in airports due to incompatible airline schedules and limited local transport options. Despite these logistical hurdles, the experience tested the patience and resilience of many, ultimately fostering camaraderie and opportunities for shared problem-solving.
Lasting Impact
In spite of the travel-related difficulties, the TED Master Guide Camp in Hungary was a resounding success. The friendships formed, the lessons learned, and the memories created will no doubt influence the participants for years to come.
This camp was a testament to the Master Guide spirit—adaptable, courageous, and committed to service. Every challenge faced and overcome only added to the richness of the experience.
