Scouting is an international, uniformed youth movement. It provides young people, from 6 years of age upwards, a wealth of opportunity to develop and grow.

Scouting Resources is an 'unofficial' site run by dedicated people in the UK Scouting movement. It aims to provide information, ideas and resources that are not easily obtainable elsewhere.

The site aims to provide information quickly and easily. The main menu at the left hand edge will stay with you as you navigate through the site. It contains simple text links to all the major sections on the site.

As you move through, deeper into the site, the top of the menu may change subtly and will be colour coded with a red box, offering you more options relevant to your current section.

Each section of the website has an index page which serves as an introduction.

If you are having trouble finding what you want there is a search box located at the bottom of the menu, and a text link at the top of each page. Just type in some key words relating to what you want and press search.

If you feel you want a more advanced search navigate to the search pages where there is a more advanced search facility.

Be aware that many pages have a title picture and some areas may contain graphics or other items that may mean the page takes a little time to 'draw'.

If you have any problems, want to ask a question, have any complaints or suggestions then please contact us. Simply navigate to the contact page.

Enjoy!

Scouting Resources can provide a useful source of information for scouters and scouts alike. With basic introductions and information on all the major scouting skills and some detailed work and information on specific areas it can form the basis of your own work.

The site offers a good deal of material on the more 'traditional scouting skills such as Map, Compass, Camping, Knots and Pioneering. These include pictures and 'tutorials' on the major subject areas and the Connected section can provide an excellent selection of links to further information.

The scouting programme is well catered for with sections on Weather, Codes, Signs, Countries, Cultures and the Jungle Book.

Part of the unique attraction of scouting are those things that you rarely get a chance to experience elsewhere. Remember how much fun your first Campfire was? With hundreds of Campfire songs and Stunts and Skits you can keep the campfire magic going. Even when you have exhausted these you can get your hands on hundreds more from the Connected section. This is equally true for Games, scouters need never be hard pressed for a game idea again.

There is information for the leaders among us too. You can take a look at the Downloads section and see what you might find useful in your group. The Ideabase holds a few good ideas and the Connected section links you to thousands more.

If all else fails you can search the internet from our Search section or contact us to ask for help from the Swapshop or the Contact page.
