Guiding works!

Games

ScoutBase UK Games Database

http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/direct/games/index.php?games=section&section=scout

Long list of games under various headings. Unfortunately, you have to open each game separately.

The Baden-Powell Family

http://www.reocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/3965/bpfamily.html

Olave: http://olavebadenpowell.worldguiding.net Everything Olave.

Websites with lots of different resources

Sandra's Guide Pages

http://www.oocities.com/guides_193b/ This is an archived page.

Lots of ideas from an English Guider. Unfortunately, this website no longer exists because of the Geocities shut down. However, you can still see some of her resources at http://webspace.webring.com/people/xc/colintonguides/sandra/guides.html. I'm hoping that her pages will be restored to Reocities, which is why I have left this link here.

The Dump

http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/

A website that has electronic reproductions of old Scouting resources for dowload, all for free. Here you will find books by Baden-Powell, books about Baden-Powell, books of Scouting skills, books for leaders, books for Scouts of all ages. There are over 230 books available here. It's an absolutely brilliant source for getting back to the basics of Scouting and Guiding. It also uses a Yahoo Groups mailing list to keep subscribers updated when a new book is available (as this site does - see the home page).

Blogs

The problem with blogs is that you have to spend time going through the posts to find what you want. Not all Guiding/Scouting blogs are useful: some of them are merely lists of meetings. However, below are listed some that have useful resources.
