Cub Scouts are invited to attend OneCamp 2023 for four nights from Saturday 15 April till Wednesday 19 April 2023. 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.

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. Discover more about OneCamp Units here.
