Details

Forty-two acres of beautiful Oxfordshire woodland await at Scout Adventures Youlbury, the world's oldest permanent Scout campsite, located on Boars Hill. With a history stretching back to 1913 when Sir Arthur Evans first allowed Scouts to camp on the land and built them a cabin, this site has evolved into a premier destination for outdoor experiences. Whether you're looking for high-octane thrills like the 3G swing, aerial trek, or zip wire, or prefer traditional bushcraft skills such as backwoods cooking and shelter building, Youlbury offers a diverse programme. Activities like archery, climbing, and tomahawk throwing are also on offer, ensuring a memorable visit filled with challenge and adventure for groups of all sizes.

Beyond the extensive range of over 70 activities, Youlbury provides a variety of accommodation options to suit any group, from comfortable indoor lodges to tented villages and plentiful camping spaces for those who prefer to sleep under the stars. The site is perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding area, being only a short distance from the historic city of Oxford with its famous university, museums, and the "dreaming spires" visible from Boars Hill. Youlbury itself is a place steeped in natural beauty, with opportunities to spot local wildlife like deer, rabbits, and badgers within its picturesque woodland setting. Experienced instructors are on hand to help tailor your visit, whether it's for a school trip, a youth group residential, or a family adventure.
