Today, our Scouts stood proudly across the community, with Groups from Kingston represented at five ANZAC Day services.

ANZAC Day is a powerful reminder for us all to pause, reflect and pay tribute to those who have served in the defence of our nation. It’s also an important opportunity for our young people to experience these moments firsthand—learning about sacrifice, resilience and mateship, and understanding the legacy left by those who came before them.

We are incredibly proud of the way our Scouts conducted themselves today, showing respect, maturity and a deep sense of com

The Aspendale Scout Group Joey Scouts recently hopped on a train adventure to explore the new Metro Tunnel, building their confidence and learning more about Melbourne’s growing transport network along the way.

Opportunities like this help our Joeys discover the world around them, try new things and grow their knowledge through real experiences.

Well done to the Joeys and their leaders for another great Scouting adventure.

Our Kingston District Joey Scouts and Cub Scouts had an incredible evening riding the miniature trains and spending time with friends from across the district.

A big thank you to the Steam Locomotive Society of Victoria for hosting us and sharing their amazing railway.

Special thanks to our District Cub Leader Rachael and her dedicated team of leaders for organising such a fantastic night for our youth members.

Experiences like this are what Scouting is all about – adventure, friendship and fun.

Did you know Kingston District Scouts has its very own campsite?

Hidden in the beautiful Yarra Ranges, just outside Launching Place, Illalangi Campsite has been part of the Scouting story for generations. The site was first established in 1938 by the Ion L. Idriess Rover Crew from the 2nd Mordialloc Scout Group, who worked to transform the property into their own piece of bush for camping and outdoor adventure. 

The name Illalangi comes from an Aboriginal word meaning “hut on the hill,” which perfectly captures the spirit of the site and its connection to the surrounding bushland. 

Today, Illalangi continues to be a place where Scouts can camp, explore nature, practise bushcraft skills and build lifelong friendships.

🔨 Exciting things are happening right now.
A major rejuvenation effort is underway led by our District Leader Illalangi, Kent, together with a fantastic team of Rovers, Leaders and Venturers. Their work includes:

• Improving site access and usability
• Clearing and restoring camping areas
• Planning for a new environmentally friendly toilet block
• Bringing the campsite back to life for the next generation of Scouts

This project is about more than just maintenance — it’s about protecting and revitalising a piece of Scouting heritage so young people across Kingston District can experience real outdoor adventure.

A huge thank you to everyone volunteering their time and energy to make this happen. The future of Illalangi Campsite is looking bright.
