Scout Adventures Recenzje 

Great site and activities and staff great too. It was a long walk to the toilets though.

great site, got the pitch i asked for and the staff were really friendly

A fantastic experience! The team were safety-focused and brilliant at encouraging everyone to step out of their comfort zones.
The accommodation was clean and comfortable.
It was a great experience for the children. Highly recommend!

Very flexible and accommodating in challenging weather.

The activities were engaging, enjoyable and well led by the staff. The upgraded Broadstone Lodge was great.
The food was improved but not speaking/seeing the catering team made things trickier.

What a great campsite! The staff made our activities safe and fun for all our Scouts.

Our Duke of Edinburgh group recently spent an unforgettable weekend at Gilwell Park, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.

From the moment we arrived, the facilities and surroundings provided the perfect setting for our expedition training and camping experience. Our 70 Year 9 and Year 10 students had the opportunity to develop valuable life skills, including camping, hiking, navigation, teamwork and independence, all within a safe and well-maintained environment.

The campsite itself is beautiful, with plenty of space for young people to learn, explore and enjoy the outdoors. One of the highlights was gathering around the campfire in the evenings, enjoying marshmallows and s'mores while watching stunning red sunsets across the landscape. Students also loved exploring the surrounding countryside and creating memories that they will talk about for years to come.

Despite experiencing some exceptionally hot weather during our stay, the facilities and support available helped make the experience enjoyable for both students and staff. Many of our students described the trip as a "magical holiday" even though they were working incredibly hard throughout the expedition.

Thank you to the team at Gilwell Park for helping create such a positive, life-changing experience for our young people. We look forward to returning in the future and would highly recommend the site to schools, youth groups and organisations looking for an outstanding outdoor learning experience.

The staff, activities and facilities were all amazing, as always. There was a little inconsistency in how many goes the children got at some activities. For example, 1 group only got 1 go on the zipline when the other group managed 3 or 4.

We had a very enjoyable stay and look forward to returning next year. Great site, great team, great experience for our pupils.

The service from staff was incredible from before the visit began, during and after - could not fault it! The facilities were amazing, and equipment was all safe and well looked after. The activities themselves were well planned and incredibly fun for the children.

We were unable to reach Scout Adventures for a month despite having paid our deposit. We sent multiple emails but received no responses. We went to Gilwell Park, and there was no one available to assist us. Our phone calls were not answered either. When we visited Gilwell Park again as our camp date approached, the only explanation we were given was that they had been very busy.

Because they did not respond to us, we experienced significant anxiety and were unable to gather sufficient interest for the camp we had organized. The information we needed from them was essential for us to collect participants. We even considered cancelling the camp, but they demanded the full payment, so we could not cancel. As a result, we proceeded with very few students. We paid £10,000 and suffered a substantial financial loss as a charity. The service provided was extremely poor.

Additionally, the site lacked proper security—people could freely enter and exit.

In short, their customer service is terrible.

Accommodation what we needed. Sessions well run.

Good:
• The instructors in The Lid were excellent
• The Lid was noticeably warmer this time
• New tables and chairs were a welcome upgrade
• Lodges were clean on arrival

Bad:
• In the Peter Harrison building, the kitchen oven had a badly damaged leg that we had to push back into place to stop it collapsing
• Stale food was found behind the oven, raising concerns about how thoroughly the kitchen is cleaned
• Adult‑room mattresses were rock‑hard and extremely uncomfortable
• No bins in the bedrooms, which was inconvenient
• The Jack Petchey building was missing an urn
• Activity meet up in Camp Square felt slightly chaotic - I got asked 3 times which activities my group were doing
• The new site barrier has no footpath, forcing us to walk through mud
• Corridor doors have no movement‑dampening, leading to constant slamming and unnecessary noise

Superb archery permit course, well led and tailored to personalised areas of required learning.

Excellent instruction, adequate accomodation and friendly staff.

If only there hadn't been so much rain, a lovely site when it is busy with young people enjoying adventures, I look forward to coming again

I'm happy to provide good feedback on the woodland management course I recently attended, it was a fantastic and very enjoyable experience.

The content was incredibly practical, covering a wide range of essential skills, including scrub removal, cutting down trees, tree planting, hedge laying, bug hotels, deer nests, beetle ogory, and various tools usage. The instructors were a real mine of information, and their expertise was invaluable.

I also wanted to specifically mention how comfortable the included accommodation was, and the food provided was very tasty. The entire Scout Adventures team went out of their way to communicate with us and look after us all, which made the experience even better.

I hope you consider offering an advanced follow-up course in the future!

Amazing from start to finish. Thank you 😊

Upon arrival, it was clear that the accommodation block hadn't been thoroughly cleaned, as many of the bedrooms were still dirty. The condition of the toilets and bathrooms left much to be desired, as they were in need of some maintenance. The variety of food options was impressive, but with sugary treats accompanying each meal, healthier choices were overshadowed, especially for kids who are drawn to sweets. The kitchen was well-maintained but would benefit from a secure place for knives. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the site itself boasted pleasant outdoor spaces.
