What is Agoonoree?

Agoonoree is an exciting week-long outdoor camping adventure taking place during the September school holidays at Baden-Powell Park in Samford, for members of Scouts and Guides Queensland. What makes Agoonoree special is that alongside our Scouts and Guides, the camp offers children with additional needs from outside the Scouting/Guiding community the chance to experience the joy and excitement of Scouting and Guiding activities. Each year Agoonoree invites approximately 80 “guests” each year to join us for a memorable week. These guests may face various challenges, some guests may not be able to walk or move freely. Some cannot communicate as well as we can or think as easily as others do. Some may be disadvantaged and not have an opportunity to participate in regular scout activities and meetings.
