With over 80 years' experience delivering adventurous outdoor experiences to young people and adults from all over the UK and beyond, Scout Adventures Downe is an ideal place for your next trip.

Scout Adventures Downe boasts both indoor lodges as well as plenty of amazing camping sites, so a residential trip is possible at any time of the year.

What's new? We're always adding new activities - most recently we welcomed a new climbing tower, high-ropes course, Jacob's Ladder, Leap of Faith. High All Aboard and crate stack.

Downe is an amazing place for school groups of all ages. If you haven't already been - you should! (July 2019 - Secondary School)




We had an amazing stay. The communication before our visit was excellent and the staff were knowledge and helpful during our stay. The set up for the tented stay was really good, everything you needed for your stay was provided. The catering was excellent, especially Steph. The only downside was that the toilet block was being refurbished. The portaloos had not been empty and were pretty unpleasant, but this is something that the staff apologised for and won't be a problem when they are updated. (June 2019 - Primary School)

I did feel that they were tight on the number of instructors but they were mainly engaged with the students. The explanation of some activities took a long time in some cases which meant a long waiting time and one go per student. (September 2018 - Secondary School)

Staff were great with the children and helpful when we had a medical emergency. The camp fire was fantastic! (July 2018 - Primary School)
