The ideas listed in this section are programme items which have proved successful and popular.
The heading should be self explanatory: short challenges are.... well challenges that are short.
The challenge collections are ways of tying, seemingly unconnected items together. In my Troop we manage to ask the Scouts to tie the same knots and do the same map work and first aid most weeks, but by dressing it up in a different manner, it becomes completely different each week.

Some of the items in here are simply ideas (like the Indian fire _ BTW please try it on a windy day because power and size of the flame must be seen to be believed!)

Where possible, the programme idea is in HTML and a downloadable Word document format.

If you have any trouble in reading these files, let me know and I will email them to you in another format.

If you use any of the programme ideas contained in here, please email me and let me know how they went.
If you have an excellent programme idea that you want to share then please email me with it.
All these items are freely copiable, however please acknowledge the originators, it is only courtesy. If you wish to use any of these ideas in any published format (electronic included) then please obtain permission. Sorry about that last sentence but some of these things take a lot of planning and hard work to develop and it really annoyed me to find an original idea blatantly plagarised and submitted to a district ideas book as another persons idea. Please be fair.

PLEASE VIRUS CHECK ANY FILE THAT YOU DOWNLOAD FROM HERE. I HAVE TAKEN EVERY SAFEGUARD TO ENSURE THAT THE FILES ARE VIRUS FREE BUT I CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE IF ONE OF THESE FILES CAUSES DAMAGE TO YOUR PC, INFECTS YOUR FILES OR INEXPLICABLY CAUSES YOUR HAMSTER TO  EXPLODE!
