Member resources

Our Member resources section is a directory of useful information to help you make the most of your Scouting. You can browse the pages with the menu down the left-hand side, or by using the search function.

Note: Following the launch of the new scouts.org.uk, there are a number of issues with links within the website to existing content and to redirected web addresses.

We are working to resolve the issues.

As a temporary measure, please replace the 'www' on the web addresses with 'members'.

For example, edit the address: http://www.scouts.org.uk/2018
into: http://members.scouts.org.uk/2018

The short links eg scouts.org.uk/join have been fixed.

Thanks for your patience.

If you can't find what you're looking for, or you'd just prefer to talk to a person, then you can contact our Information Centre.

Visit the online catalogue for the full list of factsheets and publications.

We'd love to hear what you think of the new Member resources area, so please send your feedback to web@scouts.org.uk.
