New Activity Centres

New activities this way

Two fantastic locations became part of the National Scout Activity Centre family in April 2011.

Great Tower in the Lake District and Woodhouse Park in South Gloucestershire offer a vast array of activities of all shapes and sizes. Archery, climbing, hiking, abseiling, canoeing, go-karts, rafting and more now available for young people to take part in exciting outdoor activities.

Both centres also benefit from a dedicated staff team and a stunning location.

‘There’s a lovely welcoming feeling you get when you arrive here,’ says Great Tower service team member Sarah Latham. ‘There’s the sense that you have all this open space to explore and learn in.’

Great Tower is set in 250 acres, close to the shore of Lake Windermere, which makes it perfect for campers and explorers alike.

Woodhouse Park on the other hand, already boasts over 20 activities and there are plans to increase this,’. ‘It’s a very exciting time.’

Both sites are already very popular with Scout Groups and adventure-seekers in their area, and it is hoped that becoming a National Scout Activity Centre will raise awareness of the thrills, challenges and fun on offer.

UK Chief Commissioner Wayne Bulpitt said: ‘All our national centres provide members and non-members of all ages with access to quality outdoor experiences.
