Douglaswood Campsite and Training Centre

Douglaswood Scout Centre belongs to, and is administered by, Dundee District Scout Council. It is situated on the B978 Dundee to Kirkbuddo road, about seven miles north-east of Dundee. The Map Reference is OS Landranger Sheet 54 Grid Reference NO 486414.

The site, a former RAF radar installation, is totally enclosed. There are two accommodation buildings on site. There are numerous camping areas suitable for both patrol and troop camping.

The facilities are available for use all year round for long and short visits. Although built primarily for Scouting use, the centre is much in demand from, church groups, Guides, youth groups, Duke of Edinburgh, and groups from abroad. The facilities are available for evening and mid-week use, as well as weekends and school holidays.

The centre is ideally situated for many activities, with every form of watersport (sea, river and loch), abseiling, climbing, hill walking, rambling, and pony trekking all being available within a ten mile radius. Dundee is only fifteen minutes drive away with all the facilities you would expect to find in a modern city such as leisure centres, parks, museums, shopping centres, churches, etc.

Dundee has major rail and bus stations and is easily reached by road.

At the Scout centre there are a number of activities available such as pioneering, clockface orienteering, nature trail, bouldering wall, local hikes and mountain bikes. There is also a field studies centre on site.
