Visit

The Hampshire Scouts Heritage Collection can be found in its rightful home at the heart of Hampshire Scouts, in our Heritage centre at Ferny Crofts Scout Activity Centre in the New Forest National Park.

Visits to the centre are free and can be enjoyed by both those staying on the site and those from Hampshire just dropping in.

Do get in touch to book to ensure we’re open for you.
