 The National Trust maintains the Scout and Guide campsite , South Shore Lodge and the Baden @-@ Powell Outdoor Centre where members of Brownsea Island Scout Fellowship and Friends of Guiding operate a small trading post . The Baden @-@ Powell Outdoor Centre was opened on 14 September 2007 . It contains a new camp reception , and new washroom facilities . The centre also hosts a small Scouting museum . The campsite is compartmentalised , with the memorial stone , shop , flags , and destination signs all in one area on the south @-@ west corner of the island . Radiating off from this centre are many small camp zones , about a dozen acres each , surrounded by trees and fences . The area set aside for camping now covers 50 acres ( 200 @,@ 000 m2 ) and there is room for between 300 and 400 campers on the site .
