Regatta Incoming

Are You Ready To Race, Sail and Row?

Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers will soon converge on Snug, Hobart for the annual Tasmanian Scout & Guide regatta. After complications over the past few years the loved event is returning over the March long weekend. Over 3 days, from March 10th Friday afternoon until March 13th, Sunday afternoon, the Snug oval and beach will host a variety of activities, competitions and social gatherings. Scouting members will partake in water events such as sailing or rowing, oval activities such as ball and chain or sack races, and enjoy meal times and movies with their fellow participants.

Events and activities run almost ever hour between 9am - 4pm throughout the day, lunches provided by the catering facilities. Scout Troops and their members can compete in events as teams or choose to partake in individual activities.

We’re so exited to see hundreds of Scouting members participate across the weekend and hope to have a successful, enjoyable event.
