Boyd Memorial Scout Campsite and Activity Centre

Boyd Memorial Scout Campsite and Activity Centre This is the official page for the campsite, managed by Biggleswade & District Scouts. Scouting and Lord Boyd had a long association.

The Boyd Memorial Campsite & Activity Centre is located on the border of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire in the small village of Henlow, with approx 12 acres of grounds The campsite was donated to the Biggleswade and District Scouts by Lord Boyd of Merton and was formerly part of his estate. The local Scout troop met in The Grange, his large house, as far back as the 1930s. The site is home and a safe haven to a great variety of birds, mammals and plants. Look out for Swans, Kingfishers, Herons, Muntjack Deer, Rabbits and Moorhens amongst others. We offer affordable camping with access to hot showers in large washrooms.

Have you seen one of our more recent installations here at Boyd?

A bouldering wall, suitable for our younger members as well as older and bookable on OSM in the usual way

A great activity which doesn't require a permit and a great introduction to climbing without the need for heights

Looking a bit different today, we are very excited for when the works are completed!
