Home to Sefton North Scouts, the Centre can be used for many outdoor and indoor activities, including watersports, training and events. We offer activities to Scouts, Guides, Youth and School Groups but we are unable to offer them to the general public. There is a camping area for use by Scouts and groups using the centre and we have a caravan site open to the public by prior booking only.
Located within a fully-fenced and secure site, the building has all modern services installed and is accessible to disabled users. It is easily reached on Southport Marine Drive, adjacent to the pier and beach, making it an excellent base for exploring the local area. Here at Waterside Lodge, we have a purpose-built caravan site with 10 pitches for use by The Scout Association or other caravan organisation members.
