Poo-Lagoo

Poo-Lagoon is a 3 acre sub-section of Mount George, Picadillly, dedicated to Camp Poo-Lagoon. The campgrounds are nestled safely inside of thick native bushland, a mud-thick lagoon, are surounded by secure and patroled fencing, and are only accessible by one un-mapped road. Eligible youth and their families can build and get back to a base love of the outdoors, develop new skills, and meet families in similar circumstances.

Star Scouts

Star Scouts is a unique Scouts SA Group that provides an alternative scouting program for youth aged 5 - 26 who through special circumstance cannot attend a mainstream Scout Group.

Star Scouts meet 3 times a year:

Youth are guided through the Scouts SA reward system, where they learn to PLAN>DO>REVIEW to build independence, lifelong skills, and memories.

Camp-Grounds

Our camp-grounds are avaialble for use for eligible families. Throughout the seasons you will find many families in like-circumstances to meet and rekindle with. As our land is attatched to a large lagoon, it oftern is inaundated with mud, as such camp sites need to be selected carefuly. You must stay with-in your assigned camp cite. Tents,sleeping bags, and activity kits are available to rent. During our yearly youth camp the camp-grounds are unavailable.

Camp Kitchen

Our Camp Kitchen is a shared facility for campers and acts as a tent-base during our yearly youth camp. It is well-powered and sheltered. There is a fridge, power station, and 3 large BBQs. Dish soap, a sponge, and a surface cleaner are provided. There is a kettle and toaster that can be taken down to the camp kitchen at the mainbuilding, but they must be returned at the end of your stay.

Original Chambers.

Sitting right outside our mainbuilding is the historial home of John Chambers, the man responsible for establishing Star Scouts (then known as Chambers Scouts.) He knew two children who were unable to attend a regular scout group. He thourght this was not the scouting way, so he forged a new type of group. The chambers family lived in the Chamber home for 15 years before donating it and the surounding land to Chambers Scouts (now known as Star Scouts). The first camps were held in the Chambers home in 1942.

The Original Chambers are available to rent for events for families of Star Scoutd. It holds 3 main bedroom with queen sized beds, 1 bunkroom with 3 bunks, a well-equiped kitchen, an entertainment room, and a large patio BBQ area.
