We have leased the campsite land for over 60 years and in all that time it has been open for the public to access when not in use. As well as our Scout District, we also have other Scouts, Guides, schools and other youth organisations who use the site.
Due to times changing and the need for better safety and security for those using the site, we now have to make the site more secure and put fencing up. We’ve been able to make a small start by having a new gate fitted during our closed season, but much more is needed.
We have some funds for this and the local council has offered some assistance. The Estate that owns the land we lease, has also offered some assistance. We have a great relationship with them and expect to continue leasing for many years to come.
The expected total cost is well over £20,000 so we would be really grateful for anything you can spare to help us meet our goal. A GoFundMe page has been set up and the link is below – no matter how small or large your donation, every penny counts and will go towards helping to keep our young people safe. If you are unable to donate, we would appreciate it if you could share our GoFundMe page or if you know of a company who may want to help us, please ask them to contact our District Lead Volunteer, Rob via email: dlv@bostonscouts.org.uk
