Gilwell Park Scout Activity Centre

Gilwell Park is the headquarters and principal campsite of The Scout Association in the United Kingdom, set on a 108-acre woodland site on the northeastern outskirts of London within Epping Forest, near Chingford in Essex.

It has been a centre for Scout leader training since 1919, with its Wood Badge training programme gaining worldwide recognition.

Managed by Scout Adventures since 2016, the activity centre welcomes over 40,000 young people each year and offers a range of outdoor and indoor adventure activities alongside modern lodge accommodation and open camping space.

The site is accessible from central London by train in under 25 minutes, with Chingford the nearest station, and is just minutes from Junction 26 of the M25.
