Phase 1 of our Fundraising Campaign is complete and we are already working on the second phase
We have now completed - 

1.  The employment of a full-time Local  Development Officer (LDO)
The LDO's principal task is to assist with the recruitment and encouragement of leaders and adult supporters so that we can deliver Scouting to more young people.

2.  The purchase the freehold of Chalfont Heights Scout Campsite
The PACCAR Foundation Europe has donated £500,000 which has enabled us to purchase the freehold and secure the long-term future of the site.
This is a very generous gesture for which we are extremely grateful.
The site has been renamed PACCAR Scout Camp Chalfont Heights.

 

We now want to replace, upgrade and develop the buildings and facilities at Chalfont Heights Scout Campsite
Over the years we have improved the facilities, including the new Rowallan building (below) opened in 2003.

Now that we own the freehold we need to bring the site up-to-date and make it an even more exciting place for young people.

This will include -

  • Replacing Gladstone/Hardun (complete and funded)
  • A new Adventure Area (complete and funded)
  • Major refurbishment of the Main Services Building (funded)
  • Several new activities - approx. cost £100,000 (part funded)
  • Replace Walsh
  • New roof on the main site building housing the office and providore
  • Re-locate the woodland toilet block
  • Re-build the Crew Compound (accommodation for our volunteers, workshops, storage etc)
  • A roof on our swimming pool to enable its use all year
