Our meeting place:
The Scout & Guide Headquarters,
The Croft, Bures

Access to Scout and Guide Headquarters: Access to the Beaver meetings by car is from the Sudbury Road entrance (B1508) just passed the cottages (Croft End). You must only access this entrance and exit via The Croft ensuring a One-Way System is operational. This helps minimize traffic congestion. The speed limit along The Croft is 10mph. At no time should you exit via the Sudbury Road, as it is on a dangerous corner.

 

Web Sites: Sudbury District Scout Council runs and maintains the District Web Site. Visit the web site to see about Beaver Activities within the District and forthcoming events etc.
