There used to be the Sheppard Scout Campground with a wooden building with stage behind the Tunku Besar Secondary (T.B.S.) School Hostel (pic below), Tampin. It has been replaced by a brick building for other purposes when I visited it recently.



To the right of the second row of hostel building about 100m away was where the Sheppard Camground located.
