Over more than a decade of scouting, Colac’s Hannah Warton has gained lifelong skills, friends, and memories.

But perhaps the most special of all is the 18-year-old’s recent six-day trip to Canberra for a once in a lifetime camp on the grounds of Government House.

Hannah, a 3rd/4th Colac Scout Group Rover, was among 1400 Scouts from across Australia to attend the first and only Governor General Camp last month.
