Southampton and District
Woodcraft Folk
We are a unique progressive educational movement for children and young people - both girls and boys - designed to develop self-confidence and activity in society, with the aim of building a world based on equality, peace, social justice and co-operation.
There are four Woodcraft groups in Southampton (see below). The groups do a wide range of activities, planned by the
parents/carers and children. Activites include games, art & craft, first aid,
hiking, nature study, music, story telling and astronomy. As well as weekly
meetings, at least three camps are held each year. Involvement by parents and
carers is encouraged and all helpers and leaders
are CRB checked for the children's safety.
