Our Facilities

We are exceptionally fortunate at Chorlton Scouts to have some great facilities at our disposal including:

Peppercorn Lodge – Our Main Scout Hall in Chorlton. This Premises has a large hall, Smaller computer lab, fully equipped kitchen and a large array of storage spaces. When not in use at weekends, Peppercorn lodge is available for community use, see Venue Hire.

Chorlton Scout Activity Centre – Our ‘Site B’ at Hough End Playing fields. This premises has 2 main buildings and includes a meeting hall, a badge work room, a flexible multi purpose room, our DofE suite and Explorers Common Room. This site is used extensively for sessions requiring outside space and is often used for sleepovers etc. Our Activity Centre is not available to 3rd party hires.

Chorlton Water Park – We are fortunate enough to maintain a base at Chorlton Water Park. From here we run our water season for Sea Scouts and store our fleet of paddle craft including Kayaks, Canoes, Stand Up Paddle Boards, Traditional Rafts and Coracles.

Vehicle Fleet – We operate a fleet of vehicles including 2 mini buses and a multi purpose van with crew cab. We maintain the Manchester South District Minibus – this is available to hire by other scout groups – info can be found on the district website HERE.
