Boyd Memorial Scout Campsite and Activity Centre

Boyd Memorial Scout Campsite and Activity Centre This is the official page for the campsite, managed by Biggleswade & District Scouts. Scouting and Lord Boyd had a long association.

The Boyd Memorial Campsite & Activity Centre is located on the border of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire in the small village of Henlow, with approx 12 acres of grounds The campsite was donated to the Biggleswade and District Scouts by Lord Boyd of Merton and was formerly part of his estate. The local Scout troop met in The Grange, his large house, as far back as the 1930s. The site is home and a safe haven to a great variety of birds, mammals and plants. Look out for Swans, Kingfishers, Herons, Muntjack Deer, Rabbits and Moorhens amongst others. We offer affordable camping with access to hot showers in large washrooms.

We are very disappointed today to find when on site that the drainage ditch we cleared on Saturday, a very nasty smelly job has been filled with wood again

Please DO NOT allow your group to throw things in the ditch, anyone seen doing so will be asked not to return to site

It is soul destroying for our volunteers giving up their time doing awful jobs for it not to even last 48 hours , especially when there is so many other jobs on site to do with a very small team of volunteers

Thank you!
