The Dump

http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/

A website that has electronic reproductions of old Scouting resources for dowload, all for free. Here you will find books by Baden-Powell, books about Baden-Powell, books of Scouting skills, books for leaders, books for Scouts of all ages. There are over 230 books available here. It's an absolutely brilliant source for getting back to the basics of Scouting and Guiding. It also uses a Yahoo Groups mailing list to keep subscribers updated when a new book is available (as this site does - see the home page).

Want to set up your own Unit, District or Region website? Check out these links.

Unit websites

Guiding UK

http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/xq/asp/sID.194/qx/new/members/websiteDirectory.asp Lists a whole range of Guiding-related websites.

This is a listing of Guiding UK websites, mostly Unit websites. It's interesting to see what they put on their sites, and the different activities they do. http://www.girlguidinguk.org.uk/new/guides/news/website_directory.asp Not sure why there are two sets of website directories on this site, but this page lists Girlguiding UK Guide Units (93 web sites).

Beware: when you click on a link in these directory, you are still stuck in Guiding UK's frame. It's better to right click all links.
