    Donations are always gratefully received from donors.

     

    Brookfield Memorial Plaques - are special plaques in memory of people who have made a substantial contribution to Scouting.

    These are placed in the Campfire Circle as a perpetual memorial by their families and friends.

     

    Some people elect to leave a bequest, to make gifts that may not have been possible during their lifetimes.

    Scouts New Zealand especially the Brookfield Outdoor Education Centre has benefitted from many generous bequests and gifts over the years and we faithfully respect the wishes of the donors. None more so, than the land on which Brookfield stands, by Miss Mary Crowther.
