Poo-Lagoon

Poo-Lagoon is a 3 acre sub-section of Mount George, Picadillly. The grounds are used exclusivley by Scouts SA's Star Scouts. Entrance to the grounds by non-members is usually prohibited. To request access email Group Leader Ladies Linkley.

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 group unique to Scouts SA. Much like the Lone Scouts, Star Scouts aim to fill a gap in Scouting accessibility. We provide an alternative scouting program for youth aged 5 - 26 who through special circumstance cannot attend a mainstream Scout Group. As our group members from all across South Australia, we do not meet weekly but instead 3 times a year:

• Years beginings. 24th of January. Youth brainstorm, discuss, and plan their time at Poo-Lagoon.
• Camp Poo-Lagoon. 16th of June - 6th of July. 4 week camp. Itinary relased a month before camp. Find more details in our Activities page.
• Awards Ceremony 13th of July. Youth showcase their achievements and are arwarded badges earned during camp.

As the needs of our Star Scouts differ from an average Scouting group, we use an altered reward system. It retains the core attributes of the Scouts SA Rewards System, but provides more flexibility and tailored skills relivant to the lives of a Star Scout. Youth are guided to learn through a process of PLAN>DO>REVIEW to build camping, bushwalking, to build independence, lifelong skills, and memories. as the needs and skills of Star Scouts differ from an average scout group, the group works from an alternative Core Skills Plando review community
