Patrol Activity Camps
Scouts get to do the coolest things in the coolest places. And they even get to receive awards for their efforts!
We have some regular camping programs that make it achievable for many of our members. Scouts spend the weekend away working in Project Patrols on a range of activities – everything from cooking to welding.
Project Patrol Activity Camping
Scouts can attend a Project Patrol Activity weekend at campsites like Gilwell Park, Clifford Park or Treetops.
Gilwell Park, Gembrook
At Gilwell Park, Scouts only need to come with their food, personal items and their completed health form. All the camping equipment is provided.
Activities at Gilwell might include abseiling and bushcraft, welding, environment, orienteering or communications.
Clifford Park and Treetops require each Patrol to bring all their own camping equipment, food, personal equipment and completed health forms.
Clifford Park Activity Centre, Wonga Park
A great program opportunity for your Cub Scout Unit or Patrols! (Cubs need to be accompanied by their local Leaders, but Scout Project Patrols can do it alone - with gear, food etc)
