Yikes 😱.... never seen the water so high on the River Stour, flooded Perch Pool Campsite 🏕.
Perch Pool Scout Campsite - owned and operated by Bournemouth District Scouts
Perch Pool is a small campsite suitable for Scout, Explorer or Network camps and water activities
the site is near Tuckton Bridge in Bournemouth and has access to the river Stour, making it ideal for raft building, kayaking or sailing
the site offers a basic camping area which is available during the spring/summer period (the site can flood during the winter months) and has a small indoor hut which includes a meeting room, kitchen, toilets and showers

Improvements done by Campsite Warden, Jeremy Sullivan & Pioneer Explorer Leader, Bob Cudmore and few volunteers.
1) Campfire and area reclaimed from Brush
2) Willow Trees removed off the River Bank
3) Signs denoting Private Property redone
All we need is ⚜️ Campers now .... Covid-19 take a hike, a very long one as such 🤣
Thanx to Jeremy Sullivan (Site Warden) and Bob Cudmore (ESL) for their time in removing two massive tree stumps on the grass camping verge and selecting a suitable place for the Flagpole @ Perch Pool Scout Campsite.
Hope to see you all in the not too far distance when Scouting returns F2F.
