The Haifa Sea Scouts received an extension from the campers until their place of activity is vacated • "The difficulty is in front of the municipality"

(haipo) - The Haifa Sea Scouts tribe received an extension of 3 months until its evacuation from its place of activity in the Kishon estuary.


The Sea Ports Company (Hani) and the Haifa Sea Scouts have reached an agreement that the Sea Scouts tribe will remain for three more months at its location in the Kishon estuary, this is different from the initial demand of Hani that the tribe vacate the place at the end of 2022.

Hani, as mentioned, allowed the Sea Scout tribe a 3-month extension, with the aim of finding a solution for it to continue its activities, with the tribe eventually supposed to move to the Pacific Coast. In order to be able to make the move, it is necessary to adapt part of the Pacific Coast to the needs of Sea Scouts .

Hani owns the area in the Kishon estuary where the scouts' nest is now located. Already 8 years ago, the court ruled that the municipality of Haifa should establish a suitable place for the benefit of the young sailors on the Pacific coast, so that the area in the Kishon can be cleared.

The Hani agreed to transfer funds to help establish a place on the Pacific Coast that would include everything necessary for sailors. In practice, despite the years that have passed, no progress has been made on the Pacific Coast regarding the preparation of a place. The Hani claim that the area in Kishon (which is, as mentioned, owned by the tribe) where the tribe operates, It is not suitable at all for the marine activities that take place there, so they are very afraid that someone might get hurt, so they want to move the scouting activity to the Pacific coast as soon as possible.

The Sea Scouts still have nowhere to go

As I recall, in September 2022 Hani appealed to the Sea Scouts tribe with the demand that it vacate the place by the end of December 2022. This year the Haifa Sea Scouts tribe will mark 100 years since its establishment. Its activity began in the port of Haifa and later, when the activity expanded, the tribe moved to the mouth of Nahal Kishon. The area belongs to Hani. J, and the court ruled in 2000 that sea scouts must evacuate. 14 years later, the Haifa municipality signed an agreement with Hani, according to which the municipality will build a marine center on the Pacific coast, to which the tribe will move. In practice, as mentioned, since the signing of the agreement, the center has not yet been built, and therefore the scout tribe has nowhere to evacuate. But now,
Following the expansion of the new port, Hani issued a letter to the Sea Scouts, who must evacuate the tribe by the end of December 2022, which in fact constitutes a closure order for the Sea Scouts tribe.

Cooperation with Hani - the difficulty is with the municipality

The Haifa Marines stated that throughout the process they work in coordination with Hani, but the difficulty they encounter is with the municipality. accepted our request to postpone the eviction for three months and we are grateful for that. At the same time, we are also dealing with the Haifa municipality, but unfortunately without progress."

The municipality: "According to the agreements, Hani will receive the quiet beach in two years"

Haifa Municipality's response: "The municipality has no interest, except for the release of the place and the activity in it for the benefit of Hanei immediately. In any case, according to the agreements Hani will get the complex back into its hands in two years. Until then, the municipality will assist in every way the passage of the sea-watchers and Zebulon swimmers to the quiet beach, noting the safety problems that exist there, due to the proximity of the sailing facilities to the swimming beach. The sailing associations are also aware of these safety problems.'

Hani: "Working for the safety of the boaters"

Israel Ports Company It was stated in response that since the safety of the youth in the Sea Scouts is important to them, they are interested in finding a solution as quickly as possible for the activities of the Scouts.

  1. In honor of the municipality of Haifa,
    My name is Yaholum Mocha and it is important for me to express my opinion regarding the activities of Sea Scouts in Haifa Bay. In my opinion, it is of great importance to move their activities to a place specified by the municipality for two main reasons. First, the place is not safe for children, the area is known for operational work with dangerous substances such as fuels and oils, and the children sail in the hull of large cargo ships, an action that puts them at risk. Second, failure to address the problem May result in a closure order for the Sea Scouts, an omission that will harm the informal activity of the city of Haifa. Scouts are an experiential, empowering and educational place that imparts values ​​and learning teamwork. Damage to the city's cultural activity will lead to damage to children.
    Therefore, I am asking the Haifa municipality to intervene as soon as possible!

  2. All the activities that were canceled culture, sports, recreation for youth, pensioners, what good is it that the youth only spend time eating and drinking, - and not juice, instead of being active in valuable content

  3. The municipality of Haifa does a lot for the residents of the city of Haifa.
