PL Adventure

PL Adventure is an overnight camp for Patrol Leaders in the Scout section, held late each year. It’s ideal for older Scouts, especially those looking for a last adventure before they move up to Venturers. The 2026 details haven’t been released yet; the details below are from 2025 and give an idea of what to expect.

Event Details

When: Late in the year (2025: Saturday 6 to Sunday 7 December). 2026 date to be announced. Duration: Overnight, Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon Where: 2026 location to be announced. In 2025 it was The Wrecks campsite on Mulgumpin (Moreton Island). Who: Scouts who are Patrol Leaders, with their adult leaders

What Happened in 2025

Patrol Leaders met at Moreton Island Ferries, Howard Smith Drive, Lytton at 7:00am on Saturday and crossed to the island to camp overnight at The Wrecks. Pick up was back at the ferry terminal on Sunday afternoon, with the time confirmed closer to the event.

A responsible adult leader must attend with their group’s Scouts, and Scouts wear full uniform to and from the island.

What to Bring

Scouts are fully self-sufficient, with no sharing of food or equipment. Based on 2025, bring the same gear as for an overnight hike, packed in a backpack:

• One tent per Scout if possible (Scouts from the same group may share a tent or sleep under a tarp)
• Your own food and a hiking stove, such as a gas stove (there are no open fires)
• At least 4 litres of water, or a way to purify tap water on site
• Water bottle, sunscreen, insect repellent and a broad brimmed hat
• Alcohol-based hand rub and hand wash soap
• Optional: a sand toboggan (or material to make one) and wax (beeswax works best), sand pegs for your tent, and compact fishing gear

Your Scout Leader will share the 2026 details, gear list and forms once they’re released. If your Scout is a Patrol Leader and would like to go, speak to your Scout Leader.
