Tai Tam Scout Centre, Scout campsite in Southern District, Hong Kong.
Tai Tam Scout Centre is a campsite in Southern District, Hong Kong, featuring accommodation and recreational areas along the waterfront. It has a main hall, classrooms, outdoor cooking areas, and sports facilities arranged across the property.
The centre developed in an area that transformed from farmland to a reservoir region in the mid-19th century. This shift in the Tai Tam area created the foundation for later recreational facilities in the valley.
The centre operates as a training ground where young members develop outdoor abilities through organized activities and group experiences. The setting encourages hands-on learning in nature and fosters teamwork among participants.
The site accommodates around 150 people for day visits and about 80 for overnight stays, with separate areas for camping and indoor facilities. Its waterfront location makes reaching nearby trails and water activities straightforward.
The centre occupies a valley site by Tai Tam Village, reached by a five-minute walk up a slope from the Tai Tam Country Park bus stop. It was opened in September 1972 on land the government gave in exchange for the former Chai Wan Camp, which it had taken back in 1970.
