Our ranger, Steve, has decided to move on.

We take this opportunity to thank him for his efforts in running and improving the camp over the last 20 months, and wish him well in his next endeavour.

Nestled in the heart of nature, Rowallan Scout Camp offers a picturesque setting perfect for couples celebrating their love. We recently had the honour of hosting a beautiful wedding that fully embraced the charm of our outdoor chapel. With the gentle sound of rustling leaves and the warm sun filtering through the trees, the day was nothing short of magical. Our outdoor chapel served as a breathtaking backdrop, allowing the couple to exchange vows in a serene and enchanting environment.

The outdoor chapel is truly a sanctuary where nature and love come together. Encircled by lush greenery and vibrant blooms, couples can enjoy an intimate ceremony while surrounded by the beauty of the natural world. The couple’s vision came to life with elegant floral arrangements and soft drapery, creating a captivating atmosphere that resonated with their friends and family, making for an unforgettable experience.

Recently, Rowallan Scout Camp has relocated Gate 3 and made a coach turning circle so that they don’t have to perform 4 point turns within Kent Rd.

The new gate also provides access to Farquhar Cres and Area B camp site. This will allow for greater flexibility of vehicular traffic entering or exiting the camp site when there are multiple and or large events.

The coach turning circle can accommodate 6 coaches comfortably.

We welcome our new Ranger, Steve Rigby.

Steve has been travelling Australia for a few years and is now looking for a new challenge. He has a vast breadth of knowledge that will be valuable to the camp in general.

When you are next at camp please say hi to Steve.

The camp now has Fixed Wireless NBN and upgraded infrastructure, so we are able to offer free WiFi to HQ Camp occupants.

Many phones will get 4G anyway.

There is a QR code on the dining room notice board for gaining access.

Our rangers, Michael and Sue have decided to move on.

We take this opportunity to thank them for their efforts in running and improving the camp over the last 6 months. There are many and the camp is looking really great.

Rowallan has completed a reed bed to disperse the water after the septic process. The water is Class-C and does not smell. There are lots of plants along the bed and up the sides, which will grow and slow the water flow as it travels along the bed.

Staying in Rowallan HQ this weekend was the Moonee Valley District Cub Leadership camp. They were treated this year to a light fall of snow, enough to coat cars and bushes!
