SCOUTS AND GUIDES PAGES


Resources, Crafts etc for kids or Troop Leaders.

Of course my other pages have many crafts and resources that can be used in a Scout setting but this page will be lessons and links that feature Scouting.


Moved Jewish Scouting/Guides to it's own pages

Eileen's Scout Knots


Don't forget to check out my Braiding Page for links to knots, hemp, friendship bracelets, macrame, thread, gymp, etc. Includes some great animated and diagramed sites.


Eileen's SCOUT CRAFTS:


There are many scout crafts links in my general craft projects,

Also check out my parent/teacher resource page for great nature and other projects.

I have a new page for a great Scout/Guide Craft or Activity. See my EILEEN'S TREASURE HUNTING CRAFTS PAGE.

The purpose of this page is to link geocaching, letterboxing and crafts together.

These activities are perfect for Scouts/Guides that want to earn badges and develope skills for:

  • Crafts
  • Using a compass.
  • nature walks.
  • Using a GPS. (Not sure if they have a badge on this but a great skill)
  • Find paths to clean up in nature and parks.
  • Learn to read maps.
  • Carving skills. (Make your own rubber stamp for letterboxing.)
  • Journal keeping.
  • And more.

    Caches and letterboxes are hid in every state of America and all over the world.

    If there is not one in the troops area then this would also make a great project to make a cache or letterbox and research a safe and fun place (on public property) to hide one.


    Eileen's SCOUT CRAFT TIPS;



  • Eileen's Recycle Crafts:
  • Recycling Baby food jars, Sauce, Pickle or any glass with metal covered jars into craft projects are great. Crystal candle wax or gel wax are fun. Sand art in glass jars, tooth fairy jars are just a few ideas. see my

    Baby food jars. For more ideas and directions.

    Plastic containers also make great recycling projects. I have covered with Sculpey clay and baked in the oven, Dannon Drinkable Yogurt Bottles.


    Clip Art and Other Designs


  • Coloring Books and Sheets


  • Clip Art and other designs can be printed out in Black and White and used for coloring pages.


  • Shrink Art Using Clip Art
  • Clip Art etc can be traced onto Shrink Art Plastic Sheets with permanent markers.

    (Also called Shrinky Dinks. See my supply pages for ordering information.)

    These sheets can then be colored in with colored pencils or permanet markers.

    They make great name tags, magnets, pins, hat swaps, jewelry, earrings or whatever!

    Boys and Girls both like the fun of this craft.

    If you use a toaster oven or oven with a window, the kids really like watching the shrinking process!

    Make sure to mark their name somewhere on their project.

    If you are going to make it into a hanging item, use a large paper hole punch BUT make sure to punch a few times to make the hole bigger.

    (It really shrinks! Plus you can't punch through after it is baked...too thick)

    If you forget to punch, take a metal awl and heat point only on stove. You can then melt a hole.


  • Scout Shape Crafts

  • Foam, Magnets, Paper are available in Scout Shapes for many crafts. Also available are Scout shape plastic molds that you can use for Candy, Plaster, or Paper Mache. Makingfriends.com-Scout Page. has links on their scout page to their store. Plus ideas using these shapes. Making Friends.Com has supplies for many bead and other craft. (No I don't get any money if you go to her. I just like her stuff.)

    Arlene Bernhardt who made this yarmulkah for her son.
    Thanks for letting me post the chart.
    Of course these are available for personal use only.

    The chart was used to plot when to change yarn color when crocheting.
    I think it can also be used for cross stitch, hand embroidery etc.
    Possibly you can use the chart with plastic canvas to make bookmark etc.
    Also could be used for charting a
    BEADIE PATTERN or BEADED SWAP PIN too!

    Have a pattern or craft to share?
    I am always looking for new patterns and crafts to post on my site.
    Giving you credit of course.

    Chadiscrafts.com and Chadiscrafts.com/fun/ are dedicated to the memory of my father, Max Chadis.

    I see his talent in my sons. Both are students at Maryland Institute College of Art.
    I hope with these lessons to pass his love of the arts on to others.
