The Dawney Outdoor Centre

The Centre is owned and managed by the 1st Easingwold Scout Group. It is used for local Community, youth groups; schools etc.

It is the Home of the Easingwold District Explorer Unit (Tuesday Evenings) and the 1st Easingwodl Scout Troop (Wednessday evenings) and they are joined in summer months by the Groups Cubs (Monday) and Beavers (Tuesdays).



The Grounds

It is located on flood plains and surrounded by farmland (Mainly Sheep and Arable). It enjoys all of the nature, with much wildlife, bunnies; wasps; owls; bats; etc.

The land drains well, but is also keeps wet. There are many trees and the management ensures these are checked and managed regularly.

There are fences around the water courses, but land does slip occasionally, so we warn those hiring to be extra careful near the water course edges.

The grounds has a shooting range, and the Group has Archery equipment and qualified staff to hire.

Mobile coverage is usually fine in the area, but worthwhile checking.


 

The Hut

It is an old hut, with 3 entrances, 2 toilets, 3 sinks, store room, wood heater, and kitchen area. The kitchen has 2 sinks, work surfaces. The sinks must NOT have food put down them. Kitchen and toilets require cleaning resources being brought (Including Toilet roll) these must also be cleaned after use.

There is a first aid kit and accident book – please inform us if it is used.

Store room, this is used for the group. The group is fine with this equipment being used as long as it is replaced if broken. The store room must be kept tidy.

There are two bins, but bin bags will be required. ALL RUBBISH MUST BE TAKEN AWAY.

The hut is supplied with a generator – this is currently for the group use only.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Plans to replace the current hut with a new one have been delayed until later in 2019.  Potential customers should be aware that the hut area could be undertaking building works for around three months from the time building starts.  There is still lots of ground available for camping and other activities but potential hirers should check with the GSL before going firm on any plans.
