The Billingham Activity Centre

Please read this notice from our District Commissioner. We would be very grateful if you could support this funding bid, which is awarded on the basis of public votes:-

With your help 2012 will see the transformation of the Training Hut at Silverwood into a custom built facility to support Scouting in Barnsley & South Yorkshire, plus all young people both locally and nationally who have a love for the outdoors.

For many years now the Training Hut has been a popular building used by Scouts to provide catering and dining facilities, a base for camps, training courses and for evening activities. It is by far the most popular facility Silverwood Scout Campsite has; however as with all old timber built buildings it has seen its fair share of wear and tear and as such, it is in constant need of repair.

So the time has come to replace the building with “The Billingham Activity Centre” using newer and stronger materials and at the same time update and enlarge the facility so it will continue to be used by Scouts and attract other users, providing much needed revenue for Scouting in Barnsley and Silverwood.

Thank you for supporting Scouting in the Barnsley area and providing us with the means to provide continued adventure to young people for many years to come
