Ross Wood - hour's hike from the beach, right next to an animal park, bowling and laser tag nearby plus site activities:) we went to downe last year for summer camp and did a day at Down House, free if you ring up their education department and get a permit and only a ten minute walk from the campsite. We also hiked to biggin hill to see the planes and visit the chapel and went horse riding:)

Lovely greenfield site (with a tap) easy boat launching if you fancy sailing/kayaking /powerboating/rowing over to Brownsea - one we use often (y) http://www.scoutcampingindorset.com/cleavel_point.php

Burnbake - have camped there with our home ed group for 20+ yrs, often see Scout groups there. http://burnbake.com/scouts-guides-schools-camping-purbeck-dorset

Butcher's Coppice is great (literally just got home from a weekend there with my Scouts!) or Bowling Green Wood in East Lulworth

I was also going to say Bowling Green Wood, but my daughter beat me to it !!!!!! stuartcox33@hotmail.com BGW Camp Warden.

The one we used a few years ago is Perch Pool - great little site with three sides of the camping field surrounded by the river. Not recommended if you have a large Troop, as the field isn't that large. Alternatively, you could use Butcher's Coppice, just up the road - both are in Bournemouth and about 20 minutes drive from the ferry at Sandbanks. Hope you have a good time.

Ah - just reread the post and it says a Patrol camp - in that case, Perch Pool is eminently suitable - see http://www.bournemouth-scouts.org.uk/perchpool.html

I have this one and very pleased with it. It was the highest capacity I could find at a sensible price: http://www.amazon.co.uk/RAVPower-26800 mAh-Portable-Charger-External-Black/dp/B012V9H3WA?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

Longridge centre at Marlow has both camping and canoeing facilities .. not too far from Oxford.. Eddie Langdown uses it a lot

We took our scouts to Tittesworth Watersports near Leek

Been to both with Cubs for week camps, we prefer Miskin just be aware of the trains, don't put your sleeping tents too near the edge of the field put them nearest the path, you also get use of a shelter on site that is great as a kitchen. Loads to do in the area all within short distances. This is the link to our you tube slide show of the week. https://youtu.be/rSK6NQVtxjQ

Crai Activity Parc is further up the valley closer to Brecon etc. We offer climbing Archery, also hoping to have Axe throwing and Canoeing facilities soon. www.craiactivitypark.co.uk

Here are two of our videos from Miskin, should give a good view of the site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw1 ts6KGKaY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HVqkMOUYPY

https://www.facebook.com/435665453182045 Silver Cross Scout Centre / Canolfan Sgowtiaid Silver Cross is a FANTASTIC site, local to us, friendly and helpful Staff and Warden, lots of activities (some that you probably wont find anywhere else !!!) and, of course, the WORLD'S MUDDIEST ADVENTURE COURSE - Spiderland.

Silver Cross without a doubt.

Off to Silver Cross next Sunday for a week. Looks a fab site

We stayed at Miskin Mill last week. We have stayed there with both Cubs and Scouts for the last 10 years. Lots of activities locally Inc Big Pit, Millennium Stadium, St Fagans Museum, Techniquest, Beach....would recommend...we've booked again for next year.

Everything apart from the locality to a station would make Bears Rails in Windsor Great park. It would only take a short walk up the long walk to get there...

Earleywood Scout Campsite is near Ascot Station. www.earleywood.org.uk

North of London is Harmergreen Wood - near Welwyn (1/2 hour from Kings Cross) - Welwyn North Station is within easy walking distance. Its a Herts County site: http://hgw.hertfordshirescouts.org.uk/?page_id=100

You could try our local site www.lbdscouts.org.uk/resources/wymondley-wood/ Would be roughly about 1 hrs walk from Letchworth train station

You don't have to go very far from home - there's a Scout Activity Centre in Tolworth. Rest assured that your snoring won't be a problem, as the A3 trunk road is very close! Nearest station appears to be Malden Manor The URL below looks like it's Polyapes, but it isn't: <http://royalkingstonscouts.ukscouts.org.uk/about-us/polyapes-camp-site/>

Stanford's may tick the box. Near Gatwick (Crawley) local buses get close to site https://m.facebook.com/StanfordScoutCampSite/

Ranmore campsite is in Dorking District. Look at website for booking details. Dorking.ukscouts.org.uk

does not leak a bit, you can throw them in any bag or rucksack, and is pleasant to drink from.. also eco-kinda-friendly have you scrolled down for the coffee mugs? https://www.kleankanteen.com/collections/insulated-bottles

http://amzn.to/2 slqq1 s Not the best insulated mug. But definitely the most fun.

Bodum travel press. Keeps it hot for about 3 hours

without any doubt go for zojirushi. Different sizes and models available. They are expensive but they keep your drink hot all day and are comfortable to drink out of. I make coffee at 7 am, drink out of it all morning and it is still hot at midday. It is still hot at 5 pm if I haven't drunk it by then. I may sound evangelical bit it is sooooo much better than any flask or mug I have had in the past. Mine is a smaller and older model but the newer design apparently keeps drinks hotter... not sure how it can though. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HYOGUM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_S02 uzb4NDWH4K

Klean Kanteen flasks work a treat.

I 100% recommend the camelbak chute vacuum insulated water bottle - it does not leak and keeps my drinks warm for hours - 4-5 hours later and hot drinks are still drinkable warm!!! It is not the cheapest at around £30 but it absolutely worth the money. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01AM2BFF4/ref=cm_sw_r_em_api_c_Cn4 uzb2BAZSXY

I found this place by chance, and stayed in one of the cottages. http://www.clynefarm.com

I'd second Silver Cross. ..

Botany Bay in the beautiful Wye Valley - loads of activities in the area plus some great days out

I know you said Uk, but our national jamboree in Spain (Madrid) is still open to applications. It's fairly cheap, includes transport to and from Madrid airport and includes food and activities. CHeck it out: www.jamscout.es

I noticed the strange shape of it a while ago. If I recall correctly it was Sean who told me it used to be a caravan site. Do you know any more about it Sean? P.S good question Lucy, thanks for posting :) https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/t31.0-8/12032901_10206535701764102_8292049306419691966_o.jpg (Click the link above for the full size photo)

Gary Payne. Thought you'd find this thread interesting.

www.omgprints.co.uk sold us some great ones for our t-shirt design night, Ask for Lee

I can print them www.facebook.com/customvinylskent

If you want quantities best place eBay although not always best quality. Prob same for water bottles. Or buy fruit shoot or similar as a treat and then put names on them with a marker and rinse and reuse. If you want printed shirts at a reasonable price. https://m.facebook.com/Scouty-T-125349511199797/?ref=bookmarks#~!/Scouty-T-125349511199797/?ref=bookmarks
