Boyd Memorial Scout Campsite and Activity Centre This is the official page for the campsite, managed by Biggleswade & District Scouts. Scouting and Lord Boyd had a long association.

The Boyd Memorial Campsite & Activity Centre is located on the border of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire in the small village of Henlow, with approx 12 acres of grounds The campsite was donated to the Biggleswade and District Scouts by Lord Boyd of Merton and was formerly part of his estate. The local Scout troop met in The Grange, his large house, as far back as the 1930s. The site is home and a safe haven to a great variety of birds, mammals and plants. Look out for Swans, Kingfishers, Herons, Muntjack Deer, Rabbits and Moorhens amongst others. We offer affordable camping with access to hot showers in large washrooms.

Today (and tomorrow) has been tree maintenance day

Whilst we don’t like cutting down trees if they are dead then they must go!

This is why we are always planting extra trees each year so it evens itself out

Our next batch of silver birches and 4 apple trees are waiting to be planted later in the month
