We are fortunate to be able able to use Cokethorpe School's campsite at the Grieves Outdoor Education Centre through our partnership with the school.
The Newbridge campsite is ideal for Scout camps. We are able to camp in a greenfield just far enough away from home and our base in Standlake that it feels like a real camp away.

The site is large enough that we can accommodate all our tents and tepees, mess tents and of course a large camp fire. The site is enclosed and far enough away from the road and river.
Water Skills

The campsite has access to the river Thames with a dedicated pontoon. This gives us safe access to the river and allows for the maximum time on the water. We launch our own canoes and kayaks from the pontoon and we can spend the day on the water embracing the Sea Scout life.
