MINI EXPEDITIONS
Discover DWELLINGUP
On the Discover Dwellingup Mini Expedition, Scouts will head offsite to explore Lane Poole Reserve, where the wild is your playground. Bike through scenic trails then paddle the Murray River before taking your courage to new heights at Dwellingup Treetops Adventure, featuring over 80 adrenaline-pumping aerial challenges and epic flying foxes that launch you through the forest! This overnight expedition is all about discovering the outdoors, pushing your limits, and making memories that stick. You’ll need your own lightweight tent, a sense of adventure, and a spirit ready to explore.
Discover Derbal Yerrigan
Set off on an unforgettable journey as you discover the spirit of Derbal Yerrigan – the Swan River – on this epic overnight paddle! Launch from our Swan Valley campsite and team up with your Patrol to paddle downstream toward the heart of Perth. After a few hours on the water, you’ll arrive at Bayswater Sea Scout Hall for a chill night under the stars – movie, mates, and memories.
Discover Sailing
Never sailed before but always wanted to? This is your chance to discover the thrill of life on the water! Dive into a hands-on crash course in aquatic skills before setting off by boat to the Scouts Water Activity Centre for lunch and an afternoon of sailing action. After dinner, weather permitting, you might score a sneaky power boat ride down the river to Elizabeth Quay – an unforgettable evening adventure! On Day 2, it’s full sails ahead with a day sail to Pelican Point for lunch, before cruising back to Waylen Bay and heading home by coach, just in time for dinner with your OneCamp Unit. This is your chance to discover confidence, teamwork, and the freedom of the open river.
Discover Beyond
Ready to launch into a world of discovery? This is your ticket to explore the exciting frontiers of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Hit the outdoors for a bushwalking + geocaching mashup, collecting pieces of your very own mini STEM kit as you go! As night falls, turn your eyes skyward at the Gingin Discovery Centre, where you’ll explore the wonders of the universe under the stars. Cap off your STEM adventure with an interactive session at Scitech, packed with mind-blowing exhibits and science fun. This two-day offsite is perfect for Scouts who want to go further, think bigger, and discover what’s beyond the ordinary.
Discover Your Limit
Think you’ve got what it takes to survive the wild? This action-packed Mini Expedition pushes you beyond your comfort zone and into adventure mode. Over two days, you and your Patrol will face a series of realistic survival scenarios, combining bushcraft, first aid, and navigation in a high-energy, hands-on challenge. From building shelters to solving problems under pressure, this Mini Expedition is all about testing your teamwork, leadership, and resilience. This is your chance to level up your skills, push your boundaries, and prove what you’re really capable of – all while making epic memories with your crew. Discover your strength. Discover your skill. Discover Your Limit.
Discover Good Vibes
Escape to the peaceful charm of Willowbrook Farm and discover the ultimate chill-out experience. Spend the night camping under the stars in your own tent, wander the farm trails, and get up close with friendly farm animals – from curious goats to fluffy sheep. This isn’t your average farm stay – it’s a chance to unplug, relax, and soak in the good vibes with new friends around a classic Scout campfire. Swap stories, toast marshmallows, and enjoy the simple joys of life on the farm.
Discover MAC
The Discover MAC Mini Expedition is your all-access pass to the epic terrain of Manjedal Adventure Centre, packed with high-speed thrills, vertical challenges, and non-stop action. Start your adventure with a half-day mountain biking session, riding scenic trails and rugged tracks that’ll test your skills and stamina. After a big day, kick back with your mates at an outdoor cinema under the stars, before diving into more adrenaline-pumping activities on Day 2. Whether you’re a mountain biking machine or a first-time thrill-seeker, Discover MAC is your chance to level up, work as a team, and make memories that stick.
