Hunter & Coastal Region Rabbit Skin 2026

The stakes are high and the glory is great—who among you will take home the legendary Rabbit Skin Trophy?

Marvel at the wonders that await:

• Defy gravity on the tightrope!
• Transform your identity with fantastic face painting!
• Master the impossible as you craft juggling balls and spin plates like a seasoned pro!

But wait, there’s more! Make your way to Sideshow Alley, where every game played and every challenge met adds precious points to your patrol’s score.

It’s a day of thrills, spills, and skills! Just remember, the most important part of the act is to keep the Scout Promise and Law centre stage.
