Patshull Activity Centre

Patshull Activity Centre Patshull Activity Centre is a volunteer run Scout Campsite in the heart of England, just minutes from Junction 3 of the M54 in South Staffordshire.

Patshull is a site of twelve acres set in the middle of the Patshull Estate on the edge of Shropshire leased to the Patshull Management Committee. The site is partly woodland consisting of both conifer and deciduous trees, the site is edged by a stream that runs into a small lake which surrounds an island, (also part of the site) which is bridged to the main site. The surrounding country side is m

agnificent with beautiful views across the Shropshire hills. The Golf House provides our indoor accommodation and has been extensively modernised and can accommodate up to 28 persons, with all the bedrooms fully centrally heated. The Centre has a fully equipped kitchen with gas stoves, a centrally heated common room and dining hall. The Barn is a brick building ideal for use as a Training Room/Class Room, Indoor Activity Area or as an emergency shelter during bad weather. Both buildings are available for use the year round. The outside camping grounds are situated around the site with areas suitable for everything from survival camps to patrol camps or larger group camps. Subject to numbers being sufficient, there is also the option of booking the entire site for larger events. Altar fires are available (no ground fires except in designated locations), there are water points around the site and a plentiful supply of wood. The site has toilet blocks with hot showers and a natural campfire circle which is surrounded by tall pine trees. The camp providore is operated in conjunction with the Wolverhampton Scout Shop and has a plentiful supply of sweets, drinks, woggles, badges, small gifts and souvenirs. The Centre is ideal for conservation projects and forestry. A wide range of activities are available on site including Archery, Air Rifle Shooting, Climbing Area (tower and traverse wall), Crate Stacking,Orienteering and Pioneering. Patshull is a great location, ideal for both camping or indoor accommodation from which you can base on site activities or trips to the surrounding area. The site can be booked for Evening Visits, Day Visits, Weekend stays or longer week camps if required.

A huge thank you to the volunteers from Wolverhampton North Scouts who gave their time on Saturday to support us by organising and running a service team on the site.

Please get in touch if you would like to do something similar, we can accommodate projects for small or large groups and by volunteering a relatively small amount of time you can make a massive difference to our excellent facilities.

After the recent storms, we had several trees come down across our site along with some brash after some recent forestry clearance works, all causing potential hazards for the young people visiting Patshull Activity Centre.

John Ellis quickly came to rescue with one of Frank and Dave Alvitiโ€™s machines, a Robocut with a Forestry Mulching head - which was one impressive machine! Getting to work across more than half of our 20-acre site, chopping up the fallen trees, clearing brash and brambles and re-establishing paths.

We'd also like to say ๐—ง๐—›๐—”๐—ก๐—ž ๐—ฌ๐—ข๐—จ to who funded the works and our Service Team who were helping collect lots of timber on the weekends, topping up our campfire wood store for when you all visit.
