'''Camberwell Showtime''' is another Australian Scout Show, though not explicitly a Gang Show. Each year, a team of writers aged 10 and up write an original script and music. Many songs and sketches in the Scout Show reportoire originated here. Camberwell Showtime is one of four 'Showtimes' in Victoria, along with South Metro, Strzelecki, and Whitehorse. | '''Camberwell Showtime''' is another Australian Scout Show, though not explicitly a Gang Show.

'''Whitehorse Showtime''' started out in 1965 and is now the largest Scout Show in Australia and one of the largest in the world. With over 150 in Cast and the same number behind-the-scenes, Whitehorse has built a strong following of patrons from the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. Organised in its early days by Rod Savage, the show like many others grew from the foundations of Melborne Gang Show. Other shows that began around the same time included Morrabbin and Essendon Showtimes, now both defunct and Camberwell Showtime. So As We Go Along | |||
