Iglute 2025

BOOKINGS OPEN 1st FEB 2025

Friday 15th – Sun 17th August 2025 at Mt Stirling

Iglute is a weekend long introduction to lightweight snow camping, cross country skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and igloo building.

The weekend enables Venturers and linking Scouts to learn basic snow craft skills, snow camping and to try cross-country skiing and snowshoeing on Mt Stirling’s trails. The weekend includes workshops, training sessions and trips to the summit.

Youth attend Iglute accompanied by a Leader, a registered parent helper or are hosted by another unit (The same as all state-run events, e.g. AG, Winter Gathering, VG)

The unit needs to provide their own private transport to and from Mansfield and up to Mt Stirling and down again on Sunday. Leaders / parent helpers should have sufficient on-snow experience for driving in an alpine environment (chains required to be carried) and the ability to accompany the unit and camp on-snow with them. Units/youth also supply their own food for the weekend.

If you are unable to be hosted by another unit, we have limited positions available for youth to participate in Iglute in our ‘Icy Orphans Patrol’, please contact us via iglute@scoutsvictoria.com.au

Attendance cost: $50

Youth and leaders will need to hire skis/boards/snowshoes for the weekend. This cost is in addition to the Iglute event cost.

This cost ranges from $100 to $200 for skis for two days. This cost is covered by each participant at the time of hire. Check out the Mt Stirling Hire page here.
