| May 2001 | Routecards.co.uk Not strictly a Scouting site, but this site provides a way of swapping route cards for hikes around the country - once the cows have got better! You'll need to check the cards for suitability yourself, but they're a very good source of ideas for you to start with... |
| May 2001 | Cambridgeshire Scouts on the Net A nicely-designed site with some useful resources. |
| May 2001 | 4th Tyldesley Scouts Web Site Good, clean design. The pages on knots, lashings and the impressive automatic semaphore and morse-code generator are well worth a look for everyone. |
| Christmas 2000 | Brighton Scouting A very well-designed District site; worth a look if you're wanting to set up your own. |
| Christmas 2000 | Wallasey District Scouts A slickly-designed site which also offers useful resources for Scouters around the country. |
