6 Scouting Resource Sites
There are a lot of sites with Scouting resources once you start looking. But not all of them are updated and you probably won’t look again unless there’s a lot of things to look at. These sites aren’t all UK specific, but should keep you busy nonetheless.
Scouting Resources
Scouting Resources is run by an ACSL from 9th Barking & Dagenham Scout Group. It’s packed full of stuff, including sections on badgework, camping, codes/signs, compass work, cooking ideas, different countries, games, jungle book, knots, mapping, pioneering, songs, skits and weather.
They also have programmes from as far back as 2001, and camp programmes from even further! Well worth a look.
Shurdington Scout Group
My groups Scout Leader swears by the stuff on the Shurdington Scouts site, most of the stuff he uses his from here.
For members of their group, it’s got plenty of information about what they’re doing, how to join etc. But it really comes into it’s own for other leaders. There are 8+ pages packed full of programme ideas and other resources. Just click the RESOURCES or DOWNLOADS links.
15th Cheltenham (Shurdington) Scout Group Website
Scoutorama
This site is aimed at Boy Scouts of America, but has loads of resources which apply to ANY Scout. The best bet (for a food lover, anyway!) is the massive list of camping recipes. Also of note are the EAGLE PROJECTS and SCOUT SONGS links.
Erith and Crayford District Scouts
There are some different resources on this district site, including instructional knot videos, a scouting quiz and a few ides for Scouts Own.
Erith and Crayford District Scouts
MacScouter
Another American site, has various campfire cookbooks, stories (including how Scouting reached America), and a selection of Scouting clipart and fonts.
ScoutBase UK
Seemingly obvious, but a great resource nonetheless. The more ‘public’ Scouts.org.uk seems to have overshadowed this recently. But it’s still the best place to find POR, factsheets, badge requirements and programme information.

Escouts has a community of 2000 Scouters who all share advice and resources.
Check them out!!
@ Gavin Holt:
The reason I didn’t include Escouts is because the sites I mentioned are more of a list of lots of stuff that you can browse through. But you’re right, Escouts is a brilliant resource, and I link to it from every page!
Yeah, I noticed your linking.
Scoutorama has some great campfie stuff!!!
