Ku-Ring-Gai District Scout Rogaine 2026

Ku-Ring-Gai District Scout Rogaine 2026 returns to St Ives, New South Wales on Sunday 21st June. This rogaine event is a unique challenge for Scouting teams and individuals who love nature and adventure.
Race day finds participants at Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Gardens, located in the heart of St Ives. On race morning, the gardens are typically quiet, with the early summer sun casting gentle light through the trees. The air carries a mix of floral scents from the wildflowers that line the trails, setting an invigorating tone for those who arrive to prepare their teams.
Since 2014, this event has been fostering teamwork and Scouting spirit among participants. Over the years, it has grown in popularity, with teams ranging from young Scouts to seasoned adventurers. The race supports a local scholarship fund that helps underprivileged youth experience outdoor activities like rogaine. This tradition makes Ku-Ring-Gai District Scout Rogaine more than just a competition; it’s an essential part of community life.
The course venue offers a mix of firm and slightly soft terrain, making navigation both challenging and rewarding. The layout includes various points marked by flags that teams must visit within the time limit—visiting them in any order adds to the strategic element. Start times are typically early morning with registration at Lamberts Clearing, Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Gardens, ensuring a seamless transition into the race.
On this particular Sunday, expect UV index levels of 8 (Very High), indicating a strong need for sunscreen and hats. The temperature on that day is expected to range between 16°C and 24°C, with conditions firm but not overly harsh. A light breeze could provide some relief from the sun, making it an ideal morning for outdoor activities.
