The Kohte [ˈkoːtə] is the typical tent of German Scouting and the German Youth Movement. Based on the Sámi goahti and lavvu and developed in the late 1920s and early 1930s, it is an open-topped tent assembled on-site from four characteristically shaped panels, which are traditionally black, and uses two tent poles lashed together in a V shape, from which the top of the tent is suspended using crossed sticks. The central hole serves as a smoke hole, so that a fire inside the tent is possible.
