Everton:- Greenock District Scout Camp
Everton Scout Training Camp, at a height of 400 ft, is located approximately 1¼ south east of the village of Inverkip.
The long established site covers roughly five acres. However this has been increased substantially by Inverclyde Council’s recent transfer of a further 35 acres of adjacent fields on a 99 year lease.
This new ground enhances the potential of the Camp and will provide the opportunity for massive development and the establishment of additional outdoor activity facilities. As a first step, a new car park area has been established immediately outside the gates of Everton.
The Lodge House provides indoor accommodation facilities enabling year round use.
The Campsite provides facilities for camping and as a base for training together with adventure activities.
These facilities have been improved by the addition of two new toilet units which include a dedicated Special Needs section.
For making these superb toilet units possible, our sincere thanks are expressed to:-
Awards for All, Garfield Weston Foundation, People’s Postcode Trust, Scout Association Treloar Fund, Scouts Scotland Special Needs Fund, The Clothworkers Foundation, The Rank Foundation and The Robertson Trust
Our range of Outdoor Adventure Activities has been improved by the addition of a Zip Slide, Crate Climb and Low Rope Course. A Zorb Ball is also available on a restricted use basis. The new additions have been provided by generous donations from the People’s Postcode Trust and Children in Need. We are confident that they will prove to be a major attraction to our young people On their behalf, we express sincere thanks to the People’s Postcode Trust and Children In Need for the funding necessary for these new feature. View the page on the right hand side – ‘Outdoor Activities’ for further information and to view a selection of photographs.
Work has started on the cultivation and returfing of campsites, improving the field drainage across the campsite together with general upgrading of the lodge and contained toilets.
Once again, we are grateful to the People’s Postcode Trust for providing funding which has enabled ground cultivation machinery to be purchased.
