 Welcome to Jorgen's user page on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit

Presented to me for dedication to Scouting, and especially for my work on Baden-Powell Scouts.

I'm Jörgen Pascal Francesco Hartogs - Van den Hurk. I'm active on Wikipedia since 19 July 2005. My long name could suggest multiple origins, but I'm actually half-Belgian and half-Hungarian. I grew up in Wessem, a small provincial town in de "gemeente" Heel in Nederlands Limburg. It is on the Belgium-Netherlands border and about 10 km away from the German border. Apart from Dutch,Flemish,German and English I'm also fluent in Limburgs. At the moment I'm studying French, Spanish , Hungarian and Serbian-Croatian.

Hobbies
I have lots of hobbies, so here are a few of them:

Scouting
I've always been a scout. After my move to Rathfarnham (Dublin 14) in Dublin in Ireland I joined the best scoutstroop of them all, the 13th Dublin.

YMCA
In the Netherlands I used to be YMCA-volunteer and I did a few pony-camps for underpriviliged children.

First Aid
I'm very active as a First Aider.

Hiking
Living very close to the Dublin mountains and Wicklow Mountains, I hike a lot.

Rugby
I'm a big Rugby fan. My favorite team is Leinster Rugby.

GAA
As a foreigner, I got to choose my favorite Gaelic Athletic Association-County. After moving to Ireland I started to appreciate Gaelic football and Kerry became my favorite team. I try to see as many matches as possible, but it's a long way to travel.

Soccer
I'm also a big soccer fan and my favorite team in Ireland is Bohemian F.C.. I try to visit all games in Dalymount Park.

History
I've always been interested in history so living in Rathfarnham provides numerous of opportunities for me like Rathfarnham Castle, Loretto Abbey and Marlay Park.

In het Nederlands
Hallo,

Ik ben Jörgen Pascal Francesco Hartogs - Van den Hurk. Mijn lange naam suggereert dat ik van gemengde oorsprong ben en ik ben dan ook half-Hongaars en half-Belgisch. Ik groeide op in Wessem, een klein stadje in de gemeente Heel in NederlandsLimburg. Het ligt op de grens van België en Nederland en zo'n 10km van Duitsland. Naast Nederlands,Vlaams, Duits en Engels ben ik ook vloeiend in de mooiste taal van allen Limburgs.
