Gilweroo Camp

About Gilweroo

It has been almost 50 years since Gilweroo started with a small group of leaders. The idea came from a leadership course held at Gilwell and the leaders decided that they would get together every year with their troops for a reunion.

Gilweroo is a camp for Scouts and linking Cubs. Venturers and Rovers are utilised to assist in the running of Gilweroo and its activities.

The current home of Gilweroo is the Elmore Events Centre. Gilweroo has previously been held at both Gilwell Park (Gembrook) and Bay Park (Mt Martha).
