LEAP North

Scouts from across North Queensland enjoyed an action-packed LEAP North at Tamaroo Campsite, Bluewater, with more than 150 youth members and 40 adult volunteers taking part. The program featured ice skating, archery, snow activities, campcraft, damper making and a visit to a Longhorn cattle property, alongside the popular Wild West Wednesday. Youth members also tested their teamwork and creativity through market day trading, outdoor challenges and evening activities.

Throughout the camp, volunteers worked tirelessly to deliver a memorable experience, helping young people build confidence, resilience and lifelong friendships through adventure.

LEAP South 

More than 400 youth and adult members came together at Baden-Powell Park, Samford Village, for an action-packed LEAP South.

Over four days, participants challenged themselves with activities including abseiling, archery, hatchet throwing, navigation, pioneering, archery tag, obstacle courses and even motorised eskies, while the Heritage Team offered a fascinating glimpse into Scouting’s past. The adventure also included a performance of the Brisbane Gang Show and an Amazing Race around Wavell Heights. A huge thank you to the dedicated volunteers whose enthusiasm and commitment made this memorable event possible.

Kawana Cub Scouts backwards night – thgin sdrawkcab stuocS buC anawaK

Kawana Cub Scouts had such a fun end of term break up!

“We ran a backwards night. We arrived with uniforms on backwards and started with closing parade. Games of the night featured push-of-war, reverse musical chairs, backwards relays, don’t catch and we even tried calling each other by our names written backwards. For the night I was known as Irawok. It was such a fun and memorable way to finish the term. ”
