Scouts WA Toowacka (Esperance) Caretaker

Scouts WA are excited to announce the addition of the Toowacka Adventure Centre in Esperance to our group of Scouts WA Adventure Centres.

Toowacka, on South Coast Hwy close to Esperance and overlooking Pink Lake, was originally established as a Scout and Guide Camp in the 1980’s by the Lions Club of Esperance. However, during the early 2000’s the site fell into disrepair and finally ceased operating in 2020.

Scouts WA have successfully negotiated a new lease and we look forward to developing another leading Scouts WA Adventure Centre and being able to welcome Scouts and guests very soon to this beautiful part of the South coast.
