We are incredibly excited to be working with Trenchline Utilities Limited who are supplying and supporting our new carpark!

A few more loads of planings, and we'll be ready to start laying!

Don't forget, we have our Volunteer Day THE BIG HELP OUT, on Saturday 6th June

Come along with the family, have a picnic, cook over a fire and enjoy our woodlands! Help out with some jobs if you can, but more importantly enjoy our fantastic woodland 🌳🍂

Nature is pretty amazing 🐦

We’re really lucky to have some brilliant wildlife around site, including this family of nesting Blackbirds!

A nice reminder that our site is home to more than just Scouts ⚜️

Join us tomorrow for our next Volunteer Work Day! ⚜️

Our team will be finishing prep work for our new car park. We need support mixing cement (don’t worry, we’ve got a mixer!) and finishing the slab laying for our new toilet block 🚽

There’s plenty more to get stuck into too - upgrading fire pits, clearing ditches, and lots of general site jobs 🍂

We can’t wait to see you there! 💪

Gates will be open from 9:30ish - bring a mug!

We are incredibly proud to be working with Trenchline Utilities Limited, who are kindly supporting our Car Park Regeneration ⚜️

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be receiving deliveries of road planings, ready to shape and expand our car park. Helping more children, adults, and community groups make the most of Furzefield.

Yesterday, Ian, Harvey, Karl and Katie got stuck in, spending the morning prepping the site ready for the transformation!

Before we can lay the new surface, we need to move the mound and reduce the roundabout - so there’s still plenty to do.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be looking for volunteers to help dig and scrape back the muddy layer in preparation.
Do you know anyone with a digger?

🚧 You may notice that parts of the car park have been coned or barriered off while we prepare the area. Please do not park in these sections - this helps keep everyone safe and the project on track.

Keep an eye out for upcoming work days - we’ll be sharing details very soon! 🍂

Our season has officially begun, and we’re almost fully booked for the summer ☀️
Get your booking forms in now before it’s too late!

Some of our team will be on site this morning (Saturday 21st March) from 9am till 1pm, if you fancy giving us a hand 🍂

Come and enjoy the sunshine with us, there's always plenty to do ⚜️
