‘The Great Indoors’

Welcome to the Hornchurch Scout District Virtual Scouting Microsite!

We have created this site as a temporary measure to keep us all Scouting throughout the suspension of Scouting caused by the Coronavirus.

We are populating this site with as many of our own resources as we can, but also linking to other sources to keep you occupied.  Please always make sure the activities listed are age appropriate and safe! This is parental responsibility.


The Scout Association have created a great site which is a great place to start: The Great Outdoors and there are 149 activities you can do indoors.


Our friends at the 1st Facebook Scout Group have provided a Beaver Badge Workbook – fantastic for gaining badges and having fun!

Beavers can have fun with the Beavers – Air Activities and the Phonic Alphabet!


There are some great resources at Basingstoke East Scout Group for you to explore.
