Cub Scouts are invited to attend OneCamp 2026 for four nights from Tuesday 14 till Saturday 18 April 2026. A coach will collect metropolitan Cub Scouts from designated pick-up points across Perth on Saturday morning and return them to the same point on Wednesday afternoon. Travel for Cub Scouts based in regional Western Australia may be on Monday 13 April and Sunday 19 April 2026.
Cub Scouts will camp in a OneCamp Unit, consisting of other youth members and adult Leaders from their Scout Group and at least one other Scout Group.
Program elements
Cub Scouts will tackle six program elements during the OneCamp 2026 experience.

Outdoor Adventure Skills Zones
