Coomera Scout Group - 2026 Group Camp & World Scout Day
What an incredible weekend!
Over the weekend, our Joey Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts came together for our annual Group Camp, held along the banks of the mighty Brisbane River at the beautiful Allawah Campgrounds.
This year's camp was made even more special as we celebrated World Scout Day, joining millions of Scouts around the globe in recognising the values of friendship, adventure, service and the worldwide Scouting family.
For many of our young people, the weekend was filled with exciting firsts. Some had to set up their tents in the dark after arriving on Friday evening, while others experienced their very first camping adventure and their first time spending two nights away from Mum and Dad. It was fantastic to watch everyone step outside their comfort zones, build confidence, develop new skills and support one another throughout the weekend.
Our youth rotated through four exciting activity zones, including:
πΉ Archery
π£ Fishing
πͺ Boomerang Making
π― Games and Team Challenges
A huge thank you to Ant Marknee and his team for volunteering their time to run the archery activities. Your support helped make the weekend even more memorable for our youth.
The camp was also filled with everything that makes Scouting so special: campfire songs, great food, teamwork, laughter, new friendships and memories that will last a lifetime. By Sunday morning there were certainly some tired faces, but every one of them was accompanied by a smile after an action-packed weekend.
A massive thank you to our incredible volunteer leaders and parent helpers who generously gave up their weekend to make this camp possible. Your dedication and commitment provide opportunities for our young people to grow, challenge themselves and experience adventures they'll never forget.
Here's to another fantastic Group Camp and many more adventures ahead!
Happy World Scout Day! Once a Scout, always a Scout.
