Camping

One of the main reasons that young people join Scouting is to go camping, go on sleepovers and generally spend Nights Away. This page contains details of campsites.

For details of the next Adult Training Module 16 if you need training on running a Nights Away experience, visit the Adult Support Section.

Silvercross, Penllegaer

Silver Cross is an ideal venue for all types of Scouting camps from a Patrol weekend through to a main Summer camp, a group or even a District. The site is made up of 15 acres of deciduous woodland, and is also bordered by the small river Llan. Along with the main camping area there is also a range of varying terrain, which is ideal for survival training, wide games, and many other activities.

Silvercross can provide a number of activities such as Archery, Rifle Shooting, Climbing, Abseiling, Assault Course and Orienteering.

Parc-Le-Breos, Gower

Located on the beautiful Gower peninsula, and comprising green field sites, Parc-Le-Breos is in an extremely attractive setting, amidst well-established woodland with large open grassed areas. It provides an ideal location for wild back-to-basics camping and outdoor activities.

The site has mains water points and chemical toilet disposal units. Thanks to the Heritage Centre, Parkmill (400 metres off site) we have the use of toilets and hot showers (male & female), day and night, for a small charge that is made for tokens and a key.
