WHAT IS ON OFFER

Friday 10th - Sunday 12th september 2021

From the 10th - 12th September 2021, Ferny Crofts is pleased to be able to offer Adult Members of the Scout Association and Girl Guiding with their families to camp at Ferny Crofts.

Adult members of the Scout Association and their families are welcome to join us for a camping holiday (tents and trailer tents only) in a safe and secure environment whilst also supporting a Scout-owned Centre.

This is not to be confused with any formal Scouting Activity and campers will be attending as members of the public. However, please note that there shall be Youth Groups staying on site for their Summer Camps. Therefore, consideration needs to be taken in regards to noise levels and site curfew, plus all other site rules being adhered to during your stay.

Onsite amenities will be shared by all groups onsite, in accordance with the government and Scout guidelines on camping.

We will also be offering a range of self-led activities including our wood-fired Pizza Ovens - more details below.

All of these will be explained to you when you place your booking.

At Ferny Crofts we are committed to ensuring our site is run in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner, so all of our toilets on site are flushed with rainwater.
