Digital Tools
COVID-19 has led to an expansion of the digital tools on offer , to support adults in delivering Scouting in an easy, fun and flexible way. Below is a summary some those tools. We recommend using them as part of your programme. For example, you could run a session form on of the tools, give out half-term activities, or use them to as part of your Patrol Leader training - the possibilities are endless!
