Gilwell Park: Difference between revisions

Branchet Lodge, or simply The Lodge, opened on [[May 23]], [[2003]] on Branchet Field to replace old portable cabins. It should not be confused with another building also called The Lodge which was built in 1934 near the White House. Branchet Lodge is a single storey building that has central heating and sleeps up to 56 people in two separate wings with a single common kitchen and dining/meeting area. Each wing has its own bathing facilities. There are four single rooms for leaders, two rooms for disabled people that sleep two people each, and six rooms that sleep eight people each. The design incorporates skylights, natural lights, energy efficiency, and disabled access. It is constructed of stone, timber, copper, and a grass roof.<ref name="branchet"> {{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = 2003 | url = http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/library/hqdocs/headline/030523.htm | title = New Accommodation Lodge at Gilwell Park | format = | work = | publisher = The Scout Association | accessdate = 2006-08-30}}</ref><ref name="branchetfloorplan">{{cite web | last = | first = | authorlink = | coauthors = | year = 2003 | url = http://www.scouts.org.uk/nationalcentres/documents/BranchetLodge.pdf | title = Branchet Lodge (floorplan) | format = {{PDFlink|168KB}} | work = | publisher = The Scout Association | accessdate = 2006-08-30}}</ref>
