Scouts, Guides & Youth Groups
With strong roots in Scouting, Raywell Park is a natural destination for Scouts, Guides and other youth groups planning day activities or section visits.
The centre supports:
- Programme delivery and badge work
- Age-appropriate adventurous activities
- Leadership, teamwork and confidence building
Groups can combine structured sessions with free time, making it easy for leaders to tailor the day to their group’s needs while making the most of the outdoors.
Excellent for Forest Schools
Raywell Park is an ideal Forest School setting, offering a mix of woodland, forestry and open green spaces that support immersive, nature-based learning.
Our natural environment allows groups to:
- Explore woodland and natural habitats
- Encourage curiosity, independence and problem-solving
- Deliver seasonal, sensory-rich outdoor learning experiences
The balance of natural spaces and accessible facilities makes Raywell Park particularly attractive for Forest School leaders seeking a reliable and well-managed location for both one-off visits and repeat sessions.
Activities & Flexible Use of the Site
Raywell Park offers a wide range of outdoor and adventurous activities that can be booked as part of a day visit. Groups may choose instructor-led sessions, self-run activities, or a combination of both.
In addition to activities, the site provides:
