Each one of these sections meets weekly, and participates in organised events , and each gives the opportunity to develop skills and acquire knowledge, and this helps the ever growing need for Scouting to continue. Support and commitment by an adult, who is in every way a volunteer, is required by the Organisation to undertake leadership training and so equip themselves to present the right Scouting image. These are vital ingredients for Scouting in Durham Scout County. Moor House - Durham Scout County Training Centre, Rainton Gate Offering indoor residential facilities, Moor House is available for activities throughout the year. We also welcome organised parties from other Youth Organisations or Schools.
Access is from the top of the lay-by and down the old carriage drive.
The Estate comprises 13 acres of woodland and open camping ground, thus offering excellent facilities for all outdoor activities, including pioneering, orienteering and tracking. There are many unusual opportunities for nature study, and the surrounding area lends itself to country walks and nature rambles. Several places of considerable interest lie within reach of Moor House. Two separate sets of showers, toilets and wash basins make it suitable for mixed parties. The large main Hall allows for numerous indoor facilities and activities.
