At Glenny Wood camp site, you are welcome to have a camp fire or cooking fire or both.
This is part of our scouting tradition after all. Glenny is in a woodland area,
often with lots of young people on site, so please be extra vigilant when lighting fires.
There are three campfires areas at GlennyWood which you can book to use via OSM.
The camp fire areas are- .
Holly campfire - This campfire area is just below the lodge. This is a large campfire area in a sloping area with three of the sides sloping down to the fire pit. It is a fabulous place for all campfire activities, from a small group or. a large group event of over 100...
Rowan campfire - Far end of the site between Willow and above the confidence course. This is a very traditional area with logs to site on, which will accommodate between 20/30 people and there is plenty not room behind the logs for camp chairs so extra people can come and join in the fun
Maple campfire - This campfire area is near Apple at the bottom of the plateau, near the steam and above the loo block. This is a very traditional area with logs to site on, which will accommodate between 15/20 people. We would like to think this area becomes an informal campfire, where our young people and adults can sit and chat, perhaps sing a few songs, make toast, cook sausage on sticks and so on. Use your imagination have have a lot of fun. Ideal area for a small group having a backwood cooking evening / meal.
Wood - There is wood lying around and available at Glenny, so scavenge for wood that has fallen in our woodlands areas. If using wood from the woodpile, please do not remove or use more than you need.
