47 p.; 23 cmnon-fictionThe story of Gilwell in Victoria is deeply tied to the history of Scouting. Gilwell Park in Victoria was inspired by Gilwell in England, which was donated to the Chief Scout of the World, Baden-Powell, in 1919 as a training ground for Scout Leaders. In Victoria, the first Wood Badge course was held in 1925, and the property near Gembrook was later donated to the Scout Association, becoming a permanent training camp. The park has evolved over time, with landmarks like the Hoadley Gates and Somers Walk commemorating significant figures and events in Scouting history.
