Scouting in Gloucestershire: Helping young people reach their full potential

 

County Global Resources

 

.

Why not "Go Global" with your Scouts, Cub Scouts, Beaver Scouts, Explorer Scouts or Scout Network Members?

  • There are a growing number of Global Resources held at Cranham which can be borrowed by leaders for use with their section. (See below

  • If you are a Scout or Explorer Scouts, why not register and take part in the "Lands of Adventure" Programme.

If you wish to borrow a resource please contact the County Scouting Office first to arrange a time to collect it. Complete the record book with the resources so we know where they have gone and please return them promptly. 

 

Contributions or suggestions for the resources are always welcome and there are plans to expand it further so keep an eye on the web.
