Hertfordshire Scouts first out-of-county Activity Centre,opened by the Chief Scout in 1962. This imaginative conversion of an old Caledonian Railway Station provides the perfect base for mountain walking and camping in extensive araes of wild Scottish countryside. Loch Earn is ideal for sailing, canoeing and water skiing.
Within 5 miles there are 120 hills over 2000ft including 60 good mountains which can provide for a gentle introduction to hill walking or a real challenge to the experienced. The immediate area around the station can be used as a training area for younger age groups. Loch Earn is an extensive area of water: take your own boats and canoes or water ski.

The Station is reserved for Hertfordshire Scout Districts during the English school holidays and for courses at Easter and Christmas. It is available at all other times including half-term holidays for other Scout Groups and organisations. It has been successfully used by groups of young people with disabilities.
