Brief Summary:

Scout Corroboree 2027 is a five-day Scout camp in Gloucester (Hunter Region, NSW) from January 13th to 17th, 2027, during the school holidays. Operated similar to a Jamboree, Scouts will camp in Jamboree style units, and the camp will feature fun and challenging patrol activities, including adventurous activities and commercial experiences. Scouts will also participate in an overnight Bivouac on the shores of the Barrington River, where they will setup and sleep in a "hutchie" made up of small tarp, poles, rope and tent pegs.

Venturers are invited to attend as Junior Service Leaders. Venturers will be allocated "Venturer Only" activity times on our Corroboree activities throughout the event.
