Following their foot - steps, we also created a model of its kind in Sri Lanka, in order to cater to the needs of Scouting Community, spread all over the world.

Sri Lanka is an island - nation situated in Indian Ocean. “Gilwell Park” in Sri Lanka is situated in the North - Western Province in the country, more specifically, at ‘Walahena’ village of Madampe Divisional Secretariat in Puttalam District. This ‘Park’ is located in a serene and beautiful piece of land, which is surrounded by coconut plantations and paddy fields. A stream is flowing across the site, feeding paddy fields and a reservoir, where you can enjoy 'canoeing’.

For adventure - loving visitors to this camp, there are many places of interest around the place. You can find camping sites and organise boat trips across the near - by lagoon, where you find huge mangrove forests in which first ever mangrove museum in the world has been established. This camp is also bordering the Indian Ocean, where ‘blue whales’ and ‘dolphins’ can be watched.
