About Scouts – UK

Scouting in the UK began in 1907 and has grown into a worldwide movement focused on community, adventure and personal growth. These quizzes introduce the big ideas behind Scouting — the Promise and Law, practical outdoor know-how, and the traditions that bring groups together.

New to Scouting? Start with Scouts Overview to get the essentials. Cubs can try the Cubs Overview, while keen campers can test knots in 10 Different Knots and navigation in Orienteering & Wilderness Navigation.

Each 10-question quiz offers quick practice with instant feedback. Use them for home study, badge preparation or as a fun way to review skills between meetings. Short, regular sessions help knowledge stick — especially when you revisit a quiz after a day or two.

See the official Scouts UK Site: Scouts UK.
