The pictures translates as "Hiking to Klosterneuburg" (a small town near Vienna. Note that the flag has a cross, a Maltesan cross. Within the cross, there is a fleur de lis. Another popular activity was Summer camp..The activities program gradually became much more extensive. Here we have few specific details about Austrian Scouting.

Cubs

Cub activities are primarily home-based. We do not have a lot of information yet. As in other countries, Cub activities include games and crafts with trips to local attractions such as museums and zoos. We do notice some hiking, but more limited than those the Scouts go on. We also notice modern Cubs doing Summer camping.
