For those of you that don’t know, a ‘Wallaboree’ is the name for the activity packed District Camp, which is held every two years at Gradbach Scout Camp. The name Wallaboree comes from the words ‘Wallaby’, after the colony of Wallabies which live in the wild near Gradbach and ‘Jamboree’, the Scouting word for a large camp or gathering.
However, all you need to know is that a ‘Wallaboree’ is a camp which is packed with exciting activities and this one is no exception! The weekend camp is open to Explorers, Scouts and Cubs who will camp overnight in tents. Squirrels and Beavers are invited to visit for the day on the Saturday (8am until 6:30pm) however they cannot stay over.
To give you an idea from previous years, activities usually include: Climbing Wall, Low Ropes, Circus Skills, Cave System, Assault Course, Mountain Bikes, Exotic animals show, Rock Climbing, Crate stacking, Bushcraft, Inflatables, Black Hole, Crafts tent, Graffiti Wall, Quiet Zone, Feely boxes, Grass sledging, Mountain Boards, Nature Trail, Slack Lining, Big Games, Monkey Bridge, Pioneering, Pop Bottle rockets, Pioneering etc.
