As we get closer to AJ2025, we’re thrilled to share the subcamp names and meanings. These names have been chosen to reflect the rich heritage, natural beauty, and vibrant community of the Fraser Coast region, creating a memorable experience that connects everyone to the place we’ll be calling home for the Jamboree.
Each subcamp name was carefully selected, highlighting local landmarks, nature, and stories from around Maryborough. Here’s a look at the subcamps and what they represent:
Youth Subcamps
These three subcamps are where our youth participants will camp, each with a colour that reflects its identity and a name inspired by the Fraser Coast region’s environment.
Fraser Coast (Blue)
Named after the Fraser Coast region itself, this subcamp pays honour to the beautiful coastal area and community that surrounds Maryborough. Fraser Coast is known for its pristine beaches, coastal landscapes, and proximity to Fraser Island.
Tuan (Green)
Inspired by the nearby Tuan State Forest, this green-coloured subcamp brings a touch of local nature to the Jamboree. Tuan State Forest is just a short drive from Maryborough and is a hub for diverse Queensland flora and fauna.
Cheeli (Orange)
Cheelii Lagoon, named after the rare Cheel’s paperbark (Melaleuca cheelii), lends its name to the orange subcamp. This local plant is unique to the area, and Cheeli represents the region’s biodiversity.
Service Leader Subcamps
These two subcamps will serve as home bases for our Venturer Service Leaders and Adult Service Leaders.
Wook-Koo (Grey) – Venturer Service Leaders
Venturer Service Leaders will camp in Wook-Koo, named after Wook-Koo Park and Story Walk. This park is a special place dedicated to Indigenous stories and culture, where visitors can walk through and learn about the local heritage.
Mungomery (Purple) – Adult Service Leaders
Mungomery takes its name from the last remaining vine forest in the region, a unique and rare ecosystem that highlights the natural beauty and distinctive landscapes of the area.
We’re excited for everyone to discover these special meanings and to celebrate the natural and cultural history of the Fraser Coast during AJ2025.
