Request for All the Scouters Out There
Skibum346:
Guys,
I'm now involved in the ACF but as an ex scout I'm finding them sadly lacking in ideas for activities outside the expected military curriculum.
I seem to remember that in scouting there was a resource (probably online now?!) that gave leaders ideas for command task type challenges. You know the kind of thing, "you have a 2000 foot deep chasm to cross, it's 30 feet wide and all yuou have is a 2p, a 5p a clean hankie and some string".
In preparation for some training I'll be doing with them I'd like to get hold of this kind of resource. So, if you know of a resource like I've just described, or you have some good ideas for a physical command task challenge I'd appreciate you getting in touch.
Dib dib dib and all that!

First things first, it's DYB DYB DYB and it's the abbreviation of Do Your Best. Now you're prepared for that pub quiz.
Secondly take a look around http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/ there's plenty of resource on there and may well be a few ideas like the ones you're after.
All the best

Thank Mike... I stand corrected on my spelling of DYB! 8-[ :oops: :lol:
Had a look at Scoutbase and found a couple of things... but not really what I'm looking for. I've been hoping to find descriptions of a "Situation" with a list of equipment and a solution.
I'll keep looking for now.

Have you tried the dump???
http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/scouts.html
They have scaned all the scout books through history and put them in pdf formats you can download .
We used it a bit but theres tons of stuff on there you just have to read through it ...
But remember most of it is from the before the pc/health and safety of today so you may have to rewrite some with safety in mind ;)
Wireless:
The other resource is Programmes Online ( http://pol.scouts.org.uk/pol/home.do ), but you need to be a member of the Scout Association to be able to access this resource. Everything stored on Programmes Online is submitted by Scout Leaders, and has to adhere to POR (Policy, Organisation, and Rules, of the Scout Association), so will likely have been subject to a Risk Assessment.
