improvements to the roads, activities
infrastructure and signage as well as to various Camp kitchens across the sites. The State Training Team continues to make increased use of the Park, while Scout Groups from all over the State and ACT also

Many Groups returned for their annual
Snow Trips and enjoyed great snow
conditions. Special rates for Lift and Lesson packages the Centre offers brought many new Groups starting the tradition of an annual Snow trip to the Snowy Mountains
The new summer packages have also been popular with Scout Groups and families. New traditions include achieving the hike to the top of Mt Kosciuszko, and for the rst time we had new Scouts and Leaders invested at theTop of Australia.What a great start to their Scouting journey!
