Scouts SA sets new world record at Flameboree

On Saturday, June 27, 2026, Scouts SA hosted Flameboree, an epic family campfire at Woodhouse Adventure Park, in the Adelaide Hills.

1,719 people came together to set a new world record for the Most People Roasting Marshmallows Simultaneously, smashing the previous 2012 record set in Kansas, USA. The successful world record attempt was an incredible way to cap off an historic night of entertainment, adventure and fun.

Throughout the day, families enjoyed iconic Woodhouse activities, such as Cameron’s Climb, the Tube Slide, Woody’s Challenge Hill, and The Labyrinth, as well as special attractions like Mini Golf and a dizzying Mirror Maze.

There was also live entertainment throughout the day, with Scouts Shouts, Comedy Capers, and the Adelaide Gang Show taking the stage, delivering performances that had the crowd cheering for more.

When night fell, more than 500 people joined the glowing Fire Torch Procession through the park, setting the scene for a truly unforgettable main event.

With roasting sticks in one hand and marshmallows in the other, nearly 2,000 people united for the big record attempt. The warmth of the fire, the sweet aroma in the air, and the sea of smiling faces made it clear that this was something special.

Flameboree was a true display of Scouting spirit: people from all walks of life came together as a community to achieve greatness. A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers, members, and families who made Flameboree an event we’ll be talking about for years to come.
