Please read the information below and instructions for registering carefully.

Arrival and departure

The camp will run from 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning until 3:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. Scout youth members will need to arrive in time to set up their tents and be in full uniform for the Opening Parade by 10:00 am. Final closing parade will occurr around 3:00 pm on Sunday. You should be able to depart from Bungendore at a comfortable time on Saturday morning to arrive by 9:00 a.m. Driving time is approximately two hours from the Bungendore area. You are welcome to independently arrange to arrive early and depart later - see the section below 'Cost and registration'. Scout uniform is to be worn travelling to and from camp. After Opening Parade, scout youths and Leaders will change into casual clothes for the day's activities.

Cost and registration

The cost for the weekend is $40.00 per person. This covers adults and children who camp in small-to-medium sized free-standing tents (unpowered) on Saturday night, and who join in the communal cooking and eating, whether they are scout members or not. Please indicate in the registration choices after you click the 'Attend' button, how many of your family members are to be included in this camping ($15.00) and catering ($25.00) arrangement. People who want to bring caravans, camping trailers, who want powered sites, or the comfort of a cabin need to book and pay for these separately with the Tourist Park office. You can opt to pay for more expensive, non-tent accommodation and still join in with group communal meals. 

You need to complete one registration process for your entire family (not one per person), using the data entry fields.

The registration process will create an invoice of $0 value. This is because the system can't calculate the number of family members being charged for different options. Just ignore the invoice and payment screens you will see as you complete the registration process. After you have registered, an invoice will be issued manually for the number of people in your family that are paying the camping fee and/or catering fee.

As well as this registration process, an Operoo permission form for the camp will be sent to scout members who are re-registered for Scouting in 2024 (see below).

Who can attend

All members of a family are welcome to attend (including non-scout member siblings of scout youth). Please remember to re-register your children (or yourself as an Adult Leader or Adult Helper) for Scouts in 2024 to be able to participate in the acivities at this camp.

Tent accomodation arrangements

Cubs, Scouts and Venturers are to sleep in tents. Cubs sleep in tenets provided by the Group. Scouts and Venturers can use their own tent or borrow one of the Group tents. Arrangements for Joeys will be confirmed closer to the camp. Parents are reminded that they are not allowed to enter tents that are occupied by mutiple children unless accompanied by a uniformed leader. (Leaders only enter tents when there are two of them.)

Activities and Duty of care

The Leaders will manage a wide range of popular activities (raft building, canoeing, wide game) for the youth scout members over the weekend. During these activities, the leaders are responsible for the scouts who are particiapating. At other times, scouts will be given "free time", during which parents are responsible for looking after their children. The Lake Tabourie Tourist Park has facilities like a swimming pool, bouncing pillow and a play ground.

Running the camp

The Parent Committee will organise catering and logistics. We will need parents to volunteer to help pack and transport equipment, run the camp kitchen (food preparationn and cooking) and dining area (hand and dish washing stations, general tidying). Volunteering at the Family Camp will count toward your volunteer contribution for the Term, thus avoiding the volunteering fee.
