Boy Scout Center
The Schachen scout center of the Union of Christian Scouts and Scouts Land Württemberg is located on the Schachen ; it was built and furnished in the late 1950s. The scout center has two separate houses and a storage area for up to 500 scouts.
From August 6 to 15, 2014, the VCP's federal camp took place here with over 4500 participants. These included almost 500 international guests from over 20 different nations. On Sunday, August 10, a storm warning from the DWD led to the precautionary evacuation of the tent camp; the participants spent the night on Monday in the surrounding schools and community centers. Furthermore, a marble run was built as part of the program , which exceeds the current world record with a length of 1.9 km.
The summer camp of the Evangelisches Jugendwerk Heilbronn has been held annually on the campground since 1978. Thus, this free time is the longest and regularly taking place on the tent sites of the Boy Scout Center.
