Canning Rover Unit

ANZAC Day 2026 - Overnight we joined the rest of WA Rovers in standing Vigil at the Kings Park War Memorial from sunset to sunrise. We do this every year as a way to pay respect and protect the memory of the ANZACS and all service people past and present. This morning we joined with the rest of Canning Sea Scouts and the local community and took part in an ANZAC Day march, followed by the City of Canning ANZAC Service. It is an honour to be part of this community and to play a part in keeping the spirit alive. Lest We Forget.

Recently two member of our unit attended the 16th World Scout Moot in Portugal. They spent 10 days exploring the country, meeting people from all over the world, and making memories. From hiking, surfing/paddle boarding and river cruises to campfire night, adventure workshops and multi cultural food night, they had the time of their lives and it is not something they will quickly forget.
