Member resources
There are countless resources to help you with your Scouting on the main UK Scouts website's Member Resources page. On this page there are some locally produced resources.
Programme Resources
These resources have been made by Leaders for certain programme activities and made available here for everyone to use. If you have created a Powerpoint presentation or other resource that works well, please email us with the details.
Some of the files are 'zipped' up, you'll need a free programme to uncompress them (lots of computers already have this), and some need the free Powerpoint viewer or Powerpoint to view them.

Dragon Award
Jim Butcher is the Dragon Award co-ordinator for Clwyd. Jim has a supply of Dragon Award cards, and will be able to provide you with badges on receipt of proof of completion. When you or one of your Scouts has completed an award, send your record Card to Jim, stating clearly the Award achieved, not forgetting your name and address, 85p a badge plus a stamped addressed envelope. You can contact Jim on 07930 585943, email jimbutcher18@yahoo.co.uk, address Jim Butcher, 70 Ffordd Garmonydd, Acton, Wrexham, LL12 8JE.
Challenge Record Cards
Now that we have a balanced driven programme, it is easy to be unaware of how many badge requirements our Members are completing by just taking part in the programme!
Below are cards for each of the Challenges to easily record progress. Just print them out on paper - or card if you've got it - each sheet has space for 20 Scouts.
All you do is, now and again, check the requirements of each Challenge with the activities you've been doing as part of your balanced programme, and tick them off against the Scout if he or she took part in the activities. If they've got enough ticks, they've completed the Challenge!
