BELCHAMPS SCOUT CENTRE

A place to explore, discover, grow and belong

A little bit of history. A whole world of possibilities.

Established in 1936, Belchamps Scout Centre is a charitable trust created by the South East Essex Scout Districts to care for 28 acres of beautiful green space and woodland, where young people and communities can come together, learn, grow and make lasting memories.

Whether you’re a Scout, a Girl Guide, part of a youth organisation or a community group, Belchamps offers a warm welcome, open spaces to explore, a range of community halls, camping and indoor accommodation for short stays.

At the heart of everything we do is a belief that every young person, whatever their background, deserves the opportunity to discover their potential, build confidence and enjoy new experiences.

We provide opportunities for young people aged 4–25 to:

  • Explore nature and enjoy the great outdoors.
  • Get active and take part in exciting activities.
  • Learn practical skills that last a lifetime.
  • Try something new and discover hidden talents.
  • Learn by doing and grow in confidence.
  • Make friends, share experiences and feel part of something special.
  • Give back to their community and make a positive difference.
  • There’s room for everyone at Belchamps.

Whether you’re a young person looking for your next adventure, a leader planning your group’s next activity, or a community organisation searching for a place to meet, learn and grow together, we’d love to welcome you.

Come and explore our woodland, make the most of our facilities, create new memories and discover all that Belchamps has to offer.

Belchamps Scout Centre — a place to belong, a space to grow, and the freedom to stretch your imagination.
