Running Scouts

Activities

Our activity finder is bursting with programme ideas, and can be searched by section, time, cost, setting, type or learning outcomes.

Badges

Master something you love, or try something shiny and new. Badges allow a young person to gain whichever badge is appropriate to the level they have reached.

Nights Away

Whether camping, hostelling, or sleepovers, nights away form an integral part of Scouts, which every young person should have an opportunity to take part in.

Scouts' Policy Organisation and Rules (POR) provides support and guidance to help us all run Scouts.
