Ramsay Scout Centre

At 319 Holloway Road, London N7 9SU you will find the brand new Ramsay Scout Centre.

The Ramsay Scout Centre opened in January 2016, more than three years after we moved out of the old Islington Scout Centre.

Scouts in this part of London have had a presence on Holloway Road for six decades.

The new centre takes its name from John Ramsay, a former district commissioner of Islington, who was instrumental in obtaining the site of the Caledonian Church for Scouting in 1952.

Rammey Island

North London Scout District has a waterside campsite at Rammey Marsh near Waltham Abbey. The site boasts a fairly large hut with bunk beds.

Rammey Island offers a range of water activities such as kayaking and rowing and is fantastic for patrol camps and DofE expeditions. It’s a brilliant place to have a go at water activities as the water on the River Lea is mostly slow-moving, allowing Scouts to learn at the right place.

As well as camping and water activities the site is ideal for hikes and you are close to the orienteering course in Lee Valley Regional Park or a visit to the local farm to see the animals for younger children. The Royal Gunpowder Mills are also nearby.

Rammey Island is also close to the Herts Young Mariners water activity centre: Rammey Marsh Lock, Lea Road, Waltham Abbey, EN9 1AL

To book Rammey Island please contact Martin Linsey – manager@scoutpark.org.uk
