Food at Spejdernes Lejr 2026
Food plays a central role in everyday life at Camp 2026, where the groups receive their food every morning at the sub-camp square.
When 30,000 scouts gather, meals are both a practical necessity and a gathering point for community, learning and fun around the campfire, both morning, noon and night.
Cooking together strengthens the scout community and provides experience with outdoor life and responsibility.
The camp cookbook – recipes and inspiration
The cookbook is filled with inspiration and delicious recipes developed specifically for Scout Camp – all recipes are perfect for cooking outdoors. Leading the development of the recipes for the cookbook is Sabrina Bach Meldgaard, who has extensive experience cooking for hundreds of scouts.
The cookbook is structured so that each group can choose between two different dishes each night. The recipes offer plenty of variety – bean burritos, quesadillas, a classic chili sin carne or creative campfire food like beetroot quinoa plates with potato salad.
You can download the cookbook as a PDF now and start trying out the dishes at home with your scouts. Later, the cookbook will be published in a printed version for you to use at the camp.

Special dietary considerations?
The camp can offer lactose-free, gluten-free and vegan dietary options. In addition, it is possible to choose milk allergy (which is different from lactose intolerance), so you can, for example, get a plant drink instead of milk.
Other intolerances and allergies must be dealt with in the group, for example by not mixing tomato in a salad if one scout is allergic to tomato.
Is the camp exclusively vegetarian?
NO,
The food at the camp is based on the official dietary guidelines and has a conscious focus on a more plant-rich diet. The evening meal is meat-free, while breakfast and lunch will include meat spreads and the like.
Meat
There is no ban on meat at camp, so groups are free to bring and prepare their own meat for their evening meals. We are not able to refrigerate meat or provide electricity to cool food on campsites or in subcamps.
