Description:The Copeland cabin at Kibblestone Scout Camp, built in 1931.
The Copeland family owned the Kibblestone estate from the mid-nineteenth century. Ronald Copeland started the first Scout Troop in Stone in 1910. In 1921 he became the County Scout Commissioner for North Staffordshire.
Realising the need for a permanent Scout camp, Copeland, who no longer lived in Kibblestone Hall, gave two acres of the estate known as Beech Field as a memorial to his father. In 1927 this became the site of the first Scout camp at Kibblestone. The site developed over time to include a training ground, swimming pool and open air chapel. Kibblestone Hall was demolished in 1954, and the camp became the property of the City of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle Boy Scout Association in 1960. This Charity became Kibblestone District Scout Council in 2015.
