MORE INFORMATION ON FUNDRAISING

Chalfont Heights Scout Camp has been renamed the PACCAR Scout Camp following a donation of £500,000 by The PACCAR Foundation. This means that the future of the Camp is secure and can be enjoyed by future generations of young people.

Chad Lake, County Commissioner of Greater London Middlesex West said "Our heartfelt thanks go to PACCAR for this very generous donation which not only secures the future of this valuable site but also allows us to progress with our plans to significantly improve the site facilities and adventure areas. We are also grateful to all the people in Buckinghamshire who have been taking such an interest in the site and supporting our campaign to secure the future".

Mark Pigott, PACCAR Chairman and Chief Executive shared, "PACCAR has had a long term association with Scouting in the United States and we are pleased to extend the hand of friendship to Scouting in the UK – where Scouting has its roots. It is particularly exciting to make this donation in the year in which Scouting is celebrating its centenary."

Stuart Heys, Managing Director of Leyland Trucks and General Manager of the PACCAR Foundation (UK) said "This is an excellent facility that is already enjoyed by scouts and young people across the UK and beyond. We welcome the opportunity for Scout groups and young people's organisations to enjoy these outstanding facilities".

PACCAR is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture and customer support of high-quality light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates.It also provides financial services and information technology and aftermarket support for its customers worldwide.
