How to find us

How To Find Us

Scout Headquarters

1st Bishop's Stortford and Hockerill Scout Group's Headquarters is located by the water tower at the entrance to Birchanger Wood, just off Heath Row in Bishops Stortford.


This is where Sections hold their weekly meetings, unless they are taking part in activities off-site - please see programme downloads on Section pages for details.


For safety reasons, please do not drive down the path to the Headquarters.

Hiring the Scout Headquarters


The Scout Headquarters is used by a number of community groups. If you would like to know more about hiring our premises on either a regular basis or for a one-off function such as a birthday party, please contact our HQ Bookings Manager Valerie Judge on 01279 863789 or email valerie.judge@1stbishopsstortford.org.uk.

Priory Wood

The Group is extremely fortunate to have its own campsite Priory Wood, an area of unspoilt woodland between Start Hill and Takeley Street.


Priory Wood can be found on Bury Lodge Lane (opposite Thremhall Park), off the B1256, half a mile east of Junction 8 of the M11. The entrance to the campsite is 100m beyond the Thremhall Park barrier. You are able to park on either side of the road and then walk past the barrier and through the gates to the right which lead to the campsite.


For safety reasons, please do not drive down the path to the campsite.

Hiring the Priory Wood Campsite


Our woodland campsite is regularly used by other groups, providing an excellent environment for outdoor activities. If you would like to find out more about hiring the campsite, please contact Simon Carter on 07590 681918 or email simon.carter@1stbishopsstortford.org.uk.
