ABOUT US
Canalside Activity and Environment Centre is run by Scouting volunteers for the benefit of young people and the wider community.
In spring 2016, St. George's Mill Hill Scout Group took out a lease on the plot of land which was to be developed into the activity centre you see today.
Thousands of young people from across the Borough use the facilities which enable groups to give young people access to the outdoors in an affordable way.
