Boyd Memorial Scout Campsite and Activity Centre

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 s

afe 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.

We have some exciting news to share, we have put down our deposit for a new accessible toilet/shower block!

We have been wanting to carry out this improvement for a long time and now we are much closer to making it happen!

We still have a bit more money to raise as we need quite a lot of ground works carrying out as well but we are hoping by next season they will be up and running

Don`t forget you can still donate to the cause or if you have any fundraising ideas we would love to hear about them

We have lots of BIGG plans for this Autumn to make improvements to the campsite including an upgrade to the gents bathrooms, a new accessible toilet block and a refurb to the kitchen

We are just a little short on our target to enable us to complete these works

If you are able to donate even a tiny amount it will really make a difference!

Thank you

Don’t forget our fundraiser is still live for our new accessible toilet block

If you are able to donate anything at all we would really appreciate it as we are looking to get the project completed by next Easter and we are still a little short in total of our funds for our
Improvements over the Autumn

Thank you!

Just a reminder of the ongoing fire restrictions at Boyd

Unfortunately we still have a blanket ban on fires and naked flames due to the ongoing drought conditions and hosepipe ban which is likely to continue well into September with no significant rain in the forecast

This does include cooking over fire and fire lighting activities
We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause but we thank you for helping to keep our campsite safe

Wow sorry for being quieter on here lately but July has been another manic month!

Today we said goodbye to the last of the groups that have been with us all week all baking in the sunshine with lots and lots of activities! Thank you so much for visiting Boyd

We will be a lot quieter in August as our fantastic volunteers take more of a break (or are on Scout camp)

From Monday we hand our site over to our regular booking Tokonatsu for their festival, if you haven’t been before have a look at their page and see what it’s all about

Thank you again to everyone that’s helped over the last few weeks and another bigg thank you to Henlow Events for their kind donation that we put towards our new shed that has been finished off this morning, this will make so much difference although adds a few more jobs to the list!

If you would like to volunteer some time helping with maintenance and decorating projects amongst other things please get in contact
