About Scouts - UK
UK Scouting blends adventure with values, giving young people chances to learn practical skills, grow confidence and help their communities. Written by teachers, these quizzes make Scout knowledge easy to revisit in small, useful steps.
If you are new to the movement, start with the big picture in Scouts Overview Quiz or the younger section in Cubs Overview Quiz. For hands-on learning, practise key outdoor topics like 10 Different Knots and Orienteering & Wilderness Navigation. Each quiz is short and gives instant feedback, so it works well for home learning, leader support and quick refreshers between meetings.
While Scouts is not a SATs subject, it strongly supports wider learning goals such as teamwork, resilience, communication and responsible citizenship. For official curriculum guidance that schools use for learning aims, see GOV.UK: National curriculum in England. For the movement itself, visit Scouts UK.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are these quizzes for?
They are ideal for young people in UK Scouting, parents supporting at home, and leaders who want quick knowledge checks. The topics suit a wide range of experience levels.
How should we use the quizzes at home?
Pick one topic linked to current activities or an upcoming badge, do a single quiz, then talk through the feedback. Repeating the same quiz later in the week helps the learning stick.
What Scout skills do the quizzes cover?
You will find quizzes on core knowledge and practical themes, including knots, navigation, and the values that sit behind the Promise and Law.
Can leaders use these for meetings?
Yes. They work well as warm-ups, quick competitions, or follow-up practice after learning a skill in person, especially when you want a fast way to check understanding.
