Fun program ideas for Scouts and other youth groups


This is a selection of program ideas that have worked for us over the last few years.

I've tried to put them into different categories and give an idea of resources needed, intelligence needed (!), approximate time filled, and so on. As with everything, your mileage will vary.

The basis for most of the ideas is that children will learn more, faster, if they enjoy what they are doing. If you get it really right, they won't even know they are learning...

All the ideas will fit inside a ninety minute meeting with ease, including time to clear up at the end.

If you've got any ideas that could be included in these pages, please feel free to e-mail me (address below). The only conditions are that they work with the intended age range (roughly 10 to 15 years old) and you don't mind sharing them with the world.
