Co-Owned Scout Activity Centre
The Centre is co-owned by 4 surrounding districts – Castle Point, Crouch Valley, Southend West and Southend Estuary. As the owners, groups from these 4 Scout districts enjoy discounted pricing, ask for details. The sites committee has representatives from the owner districts as well as other volunteers.
