Brookwood Scout Reserve

Brookwood is located in the Kawartha Lakes but this is not cottage country. The camp is in Otonabee Conservation Authority lands consisting of half open rolling meadow and half forest and swamp area ideal for exploring and pioneering projects. There are at least 100 possible patrol wilderness sites completely separate from each other, no water, no privies, no hydro only nature and the night sounds that it provides. There are many plant and tree species not commonly found in the Kawartha area. Wildlife is abundant with small and large animals to be seen if quiet enough. Winter is of course ideal for tracking and identification of numerous animal tracks.

There are two cabins on site. The rustic cabin sleeps 15 in bunks with mattresses and the very rustic cabin sleeps 6. Both are one open area with a separate kitchen room, no appliances. They are heated with an oil space heater.

Local attractions include the general store in Druro, Serpent Mounds Provincial Park, and Petroglifs Provincial Park where there are native carvings on boulders (open in summer; admission is charged).
