Lägerliv i orolig tid
I juli 1939 arrangerades det första (och sista) Vi-lägret. 400 unga från hela landet slöt upp för en veckas friluftsliv på Storholmen utanför Gustavsberg. Två av deltagarna hade cyklat ända från Kiruna!

I juli 1939 arrangerades det första (och sista) Vi-lägret. 400 unga från hela landet slöt upp för en veckas friluftsliv på Storholmen utanför Gustavsberg. Två av deltagarna hade cyklat ända från Kiruna!
Vi-läsaren Åke Cederqvist har hittat ett exemplar av lägerboken som vittnar om framtidstro i skuggan av oron i Europa. I förordet står:
”Må denna sommars sunda kamratskap, ljusa tillförsikt och redliga samarbetsanda bestå, och ni ska till nytta för hela vårt land kunna göra er insats i arbetet på att göra livet i Sverige ljusare, gladare och bättre.”
Förutom program och packlista listas i lägerboken förhållningsregler, till exempel: ”Renhet, ordning och snygghet råder” och ”Absolut punktlighet iakttages”. Men lite humor har smugit sig in i den annars så ordentliga lägerboken: ”Frivilligt medföres: Ficklampa, kamera, klocka, musikinstrument (ej piano)”.
Här kan du bläddra igenom lägerboken från 1939.
