About Foxcove
Foxcove Scout Campsite is set in the South Hams countryside, a stone's throw from Wembury in Devon. Its website described a quiet, secluded campsite for Scouts, Guides and youth organisations, overlooking the Yealm Estuary and surrounded by woodland, and reachable by road or on foot.
Foxcove offered indoor and outdoor camping with all the facilities on site, from a back to basics camp right through to a patrol or District camp. Groups could also use the buildings as a base for all their catering, with the flag pole up by the main building.
The facilities were simple, which made the site ideal for back to basics and Scout skills camps, and it had access for special needs. It was open to Scouts, Guides, youth groups, schools and registered organisations from all over the UK and abroad, and it was managed entirely by volunteers.
The website also thanked local supporters, among them a carpenter who spent many hours one winter helping to rip up the old floor of the main building and put down a new one, and a fire protection firm from South Brent that serviced the site's fire equipment before the season.
