Bexley Scout District are delighted to announce that on 22 December 2022 they signed a 99 year lease with Trust for London to manage Cudham Shaws Outdoor Centre in Kent. The site, covering more than 90 acres, reopened under licence on 29 April 2022 and we welcome bookings from Scouts, Girlguiding, schools, DofE expeditions and other organised youth groups from across London, Kent and beyond! The booking system and website will still both continue to be developed throughout 2023 so bear with us and please let us know if you have any questions or you find any teething glitches. The site currently has 3 different buildings offering indoor accommodation (with a double decker and single decker bus offering additional indoor accommodation due to arrive by 1 April 2023) and we also have a wide selection of campsites available, 3 of which offer you the option of hiring a wooden field kitchen for the duration of your stay to save you bringing marquees and other equipment with you. Tables and benches can also be hired if required. We look forward to welcoming you all in 2023 and also invite you to make any suggestions of what you would like to see at the site in terms of facilities and activities and you can contact the management team with these or any other queries via cudhamshaws@bexleyscouts.org.uk If you would like to come along and help the Cudham Crew with site maintenance, as an activity instructor or elsewhere around the site to help us give the best opportunities possible to the youth of Bexley, Bromley and beyond please e-mail cudhamcrew@bexleyscouts.org.uk Any questions about bookings should be sent to the bookings team please via bookings@bexleyscouts.org.uk
