Rowe Hall

Attached to Blakesley School, 2nd Cuddington originally met within the school grounds off The Avenue, Worcester Park. It wasn't until the 1960's that our current site in Salisbury Road was found, and that has been our home ever since!

Our current Headquarters, Rowe Hall, was opened in 1987 following a large fire that destroyed the previous building. The two floor purpose built building provides the Group with an excellent base for its Scouting activities, with parking for our coaches and outdoor activity areas. The Groups Maintenance Committee ensures that Rowe Hall remains a safe and modern facility for our young people.

In 2002 the Group were imposed with a significant increase in the land rent paid to the local council. This started a 5 year process of protracted negotiations with the council to not only bring the rent back down to a more realistic figure, but also to begin the process of buying the freehold to the land on which our Headquarters sits. Whilst valued at over Ł1.2 million, we were lucky enough to bring down the value of the freehold to just Ł7,500 and in 2006 we launched an appeal to many of our friends, past and present, asking for help in this important purchase. Finally in 2007, we celebrated with the news that 2nd Cuddington now owned the freehold, giving us the security of tenure for many years to come.
