Christmas is just around the corner, and if you’re a scout leader looking for a small something small to gift your group for their hard work this year, we’ve got you covered.

At Scout Store, you’ll find something for everyone in your group, whether they’re SquirrelsBeavers, Cubs, Scouts, or Explorers. Here are our best picks:

Toys and Games

This card set is the perfect gift for Scouts who love nature and everything it has to offer. They're not just regular playing cards – they double up as a Top Trumps-style game where Scouts can battle it out over the tallest, oldest or widest tree. Great for rainy evenings in the Scout Hut, or turning a woodland walk into a tree-spotting challenge. Your Scouts will be spotting oaks and elms in no time!

These pocket-sized soft toys are perfect for your younger scouts. Super snuggly and made from recycled materials, they're small enough to tuck into a pocket or backpack but big enough to cuddle. They make brilliant mascots for Squirrels, Beavers, and Cubs – the kind they’ll want to bring to every sleepover, troop meeting, and camp.

If you're after something that'll get your whole group laughing at your next meeting, this is it! This festive Kazoo game comes with 4 kazoos and prompt cards with over 120 festive songs to guess. There’s absolutely no singing required – just kazoo your way through carols while everyone tries to guess the tune. Perfect for a group activity that'll have the whole troop laughing. Fair warning: it gets loud, it gets competitive, and it's brilliant fun.

Scouting Themed Gifts

A twist on the classic rubber duck, this cheeky blue Scouting duck comes wearing a Scouts necker. Made from non-toxic PVC, it's perfect as a mascot for games like Duck, Duck, Goose or as a fun companion that tags along to meetings and camps. At just £3, it's an affordable gift that'll bring a smile to any Scout's face.

These notebooks are built for Scouts who love being in the great outdoors. They’re waterproof, weather-proof and tough enough to survive any adventure. You can write in them with pens or pencils in any weather, even if the pages are wet, meaning they’re perfect for jotting down notes on hikes or recording what’s been spotted on a nature walk.

This super soft teddy bear comes with a customisable t-shirt, so you can add your section logo and group name. How about gifting one to your group as their official mascot? Scouts can take turns bringing it home for sleepovers, looking after it for the week, or taking it on adventures. You could even run a competition to name the bear and get everyone involved. It's the kind of gift that brings your troop together and creates memories all year round.

Practical Items for Camping and The Outdoors

For Scouts who like to be prepared for anything, this belt is a must-have. It's got multiple loops to clip on carabiners, a storage compartment for whittling tools or a compass, and a pouch that fits mobile phones, torches, or cards. The belt's adjustable, so it'll fit Scouts of different ages and sizes. Perfect for hikes, outdoor adventures, and camp essentials.

Every Scout needs a proper winter hat for cold, wintery meetings and camps. This chunky cable knit hat is made from heavyweight soft spun acrylic yarn, and comes with a shearling fleece thermal band inside to keep ears extra warm when the temperature drops. The Fleur de Lis is embroidered on the cuff, and there's also a classic pom-pom on top. Choose from two colour palettes: warm tones of orange, yellow, brown and blue, or cooler shades of teal, green and khaki. We also have matching hats in adult sizes too – perfect if you want the whole troop (leaders included) matching on your next winter adventure!

A practical gift that'll get used time and time again. This purple torch comes packed with 9 super bright LED bulbs to light up dark trails, night hikes, or winter camps. It's palm-sized and portable, with a rubber barrel and a non-slip exterior – perfect for smaller hands. The rubber push button switches it on and off easily, and there's a handy wrist strap to keep it secure. It's a brilliant stocking filler that will get lots of use.

Stocking Fillers

You can never have enough keyrings! Especially animal themed ones. This fun Christmas charm keyring features an adorable Caybara wearing a festive green hat and necker, while sipping a delicious hot chocolate with marshmallows from its Scouts mug. Guaranteed to be a favourite for Squirrels. It’ll definitely bring a smile to any Scout’s face. A small gift but guaranteed to bring lots of joy to any Scout.

Sometimes the simplest gifts are the best. This 2cm round pin badge made from iron features the classic Fleur de Lis design – the emblem that Scouts across the world wear with pride. This badge can be pinned onto hats, neckers, bags, uniform, and more. At just £2.50, it's an affordable way to give every young person in your group something they can wear to represent their part in the Scouting movement.
