The Campfire Song Book describes itself as a collection of traditional Guide, Scout and campfire songs, and it’s exactly that. And best of all, there are MIDI files included for every single song, so you can learn the tune.
The songs are sorted both alphabetically and by subject. There’s also a few links to even MORE campfire song sites.

This is part 2 of the international resources pack (part 1 can be found here), from a CD provided as part of Greater Manchester North leader training.
Whereas the first part focused on different international festivals, this part is generally more cultures and customs focused.
The files are split into multiple zips to keep each file under 100mb for uploading. The best way to sort them is one folder for part 1 (international festivals) and one folder for part two. You can download all files at once here.

The Woodlands Junior School site is a great resource for planning as you may wish to find out details about calendar events in order to help with your programme. They Mandy (it’s just one person!) must spend hours updating the site.
Just click ‘Calendars’ on the right hand side menu.

My county, Greater Manchester North, runs leader training as a series of weekends throughout the year – Way Ahead.
I was on Way Ahead 4, and as part of Module 19 (International), we were given a CD packed full of international resources. There are more general things, as well as various resources for different international festivals. And I’m making it available for download!
The CD is just over 600mb, so I’ll be posting it in two parts. The links to download the first part (international festivals) are below. Stay tuned for part two!
Update: Part 2 is available here.

International Festivals – Part 2

“The Dump” is a Canadian site listing hundreds of older scouting books in electronic format. They’re high quality PDF scans of books which are no longer in print. Of course the older stuff has some of the best ideas!
There are books for beavers, cubs, scouts and rovers. Books full of games and entire series runs (e.g. The Scouter). There’s also an audio section, with clips of the man himself, Baden-Powell.
