Gilwell Campsite, Scout campsite in Sha Tin District, Hong Kong.
The Gilwell Campsite occupies 200,000 square meters between Tung Yeung Shan and Tate's Cairn, featuring natural streams and forest areas at 430 meters elevation.
The Hong Kong Government granted this land in 1960, leading to the establishment of the campsite after three years of constructing facilities and bridges.
The campsite hosted its first major jamboree in 1967 during the 60th anniversary of World Scout Movement, bringing together local scouts and children from various homes.
Access requires a 45-minute walk from the nearest bus stop on Clear Water Bay Road, which is served by routes 91, 91M, 92, and 96R.
The site maintains a policy of wild camping without catering services, focusing on natural exploration through minimal infrastructure of office buildings and lecture spaces.
