Brownsea is an Island of history. This is where Scouting started, nearly one hundred years ago. In the first experimental Scout camp, Robert Baden-Powell mixed together boys from diverse backgrounds. During their eight days together, they learnt to survive in the wild, and how to live by a code of honour.
Owned and managed by the National Trust, Brownsea Island is protected forever and offers an amazing and magical experience to every visitor.
You can experience the magic of Brownsea Island for yourself, by visiting Brownsea , camping on the Scout and Guide campsite, and taking part in events. If you’ve never seen it before, now’s the time to “Open your eyes to Brownsea Island”.
