Thank you for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

 Hinckley District Scouts' campsite at Fox Coverts has provided camping opportunities for young people since 1956.

 Covering nearly 16 acres of woodland, the campsite provides a wide range of areas for Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Explorers to camp, have fun and learn new skills. Over the years, Guides, schools, Duke of Edinburgh and other recognised youth groups have all taken advantage of the facilities and activities available at Fox Coverts.

 Towards the end of October this year, the campsite was the victim of a burglary. Maintenance tools were stolen and storage facilities damaged.This has been a body blow to the District.

Just at the time when we were planning improvements, so we could safely welcome back youngsters to the campsite, we are now having to spend precious resources making good the losses.

 On hearing of the burglary, a number of people very kindly offered to donate towards the repairs and towards the development of the facilities. For this purpose, we have set up our JustGiving page.

 Scouts are very resilient. We will bounce back, and we will continue to provide activities and most importantly fun for our members. Over the past 64 years there will have been many hundreds, if not thousands, of people whose first experience of camping was at Fox Coverts. We are doing our best to ensure the same opportunity is available to young people in the future. All donations will make a big difference in enabling us to continue to welcome young people to Fox Coverts.

Thank you from all at Hinckley District Scouts.
