Parent’s Guides to Scouting

The Parent’s Guides are designed to give parents a brief introduction to the section, explain the types of activities young people take part in and highlight the skills young people will gain. These guides support Leaders to engage with parents and encourage parents to get more involved with Scouting.

There are four section-specific versions of the Parent’s Guide resource, which are:

• Parent’s Guide to Beavers
• Parent’s Guide to Cubs
• Parent’s Guide to Scouts
  
• Parent’s Guide to Explorers
  

• Member Resources – PDFs are free to download or view online at the links above
  
• Print Centre (scouts.org.uk/brand) – the guides are available on the Print Centre and can be personalised to make them relevant to the local section. These personalised copies of the Parent’s Guides can be downloaded for free or printed copies are available to purchase
• District Scout Shops – printed copies of the guides can be picked up free from District Scout Shops

• Frequently Asked Questions - Answers to lots of questions about these resources and the changes from previous versions can be found in the FAQs document.
