Geoff Brown on Sea Scouts

The Isle of Wight Scouts own a campsite at Corf Scout Camp, near Shalfleet and they’ve owned that since just before the War.

And, we’ve got a site out there that we still use. Each group has its own sort of nominal site which we do our own maintenance on and what have you and developed the site over the years and that’s lovely. It’s 23 acres of ‘scout-proof’ land.

It’s a bit wet in places when we have this heavy rain, but it’s lovely.

We own it, we developed it over the years, that’s where I did my first camping. And, a lot of Scouts even now, they don’t camp anywhere else, they always camp at Corf and nowhere else.

And because Cub Scouts can camp there now, they have their annual camp every June/July. So yes, you hear three hundred/four hundred little hooligans hurtling around there, it’s lovely
