A big thank you from us to CSG for a £1000 donation towards our septic system appeal. Ellis and his team from CSG have been supporting our volunteers with crucial advice and positivity since we discovered the catastrophic failure of this critical system in February. Read more about their donation on our website.

Southampton Scouts are celebrating after receiving a £1,000 donation towards a new sewage system, after Woodmill Outdoor Centre was at risk of closure following catastrophic failure.

We had our busiest evening yet last night, with Explorer Scouts & Guides both on the water, Beaver Scouts on the Low Ropes and Bushcraft, as well as our usual Tuesday activities for Squirrels and Cubs.

We also had alternative provision on site and a group from a local college camping for their DofE. The start of a busy summer of adventure!
