Oaklands Farm

An association called 'The Friends of Chigwell' formed in 1966 with the main purpose to raise funds to improve the site. Working parties met once or twice a year to assist with the improvements. Large parts of the ground were sub-let to different Divisions and Districts, who owned their own huts for storing equipment. The well-built huts would also be used as shelters during bad weather. Guides were expected to wear correct camp uniform.
