Welcome to the Val Codera scout bases website.
On this site you will find information on the location of the valley, its history and the importance it has for Italian scouts.
This valley hosted several activities of the Aquile Randagie (Stray Eagles), the scout group that opposed the closure decreed by the fascist state, and continued its activity in clandestinity from 1928 to 1945.
Two scout bases are active in the valley, this allow scout groups to visit the place and learn the details of that adventure as well as retrace the mountain paths of the Aquile Randagie.
The scout bases in Val Codera are located along the trail that leads from Novate Mezzola to Passo dell'Oro.
There are no roads accessible by car in the valley and all places can only be reached on foot. There are no shops or transportation options in the valley.
During the summer, the bases welcome scout groups for their "route". These groups camp for just one night per base, constantly moving along the trails.
Due to the lack of logistical support, our bases are not available for multi-day static camps.
Given the difficulty the trails are suitable for girls and boys at least 16 years old.
Some descriptive pages of the bases and activities are available on this site, as well as some information for booking overnight stays (the natural habitat is very delicate and it is essential to regulate access). The booking process for summer camps and routes will start on April 7th.
Please stay tuned for further information
