This page is a list of useful websites for lots of ideas, some are scouting and some more general. Some are free, some are not and some are a mix of both. Below are ones we have been informed of (and in many cases already used). Most can be adapted for different ages.
If you have any to add, or find a problem / updated information for any of these, just let Louise, Jamie or Connel know and we can amend accordingly.
