The Official Tumblr for NetScouts

NetScouts is a free, online, all-ages alternative to Scout and Guides groups for anyone who for whatever reason cannot or does not want to attend in-person groups. We aim to keep NetScouts as low-cost and accessible as possible by making sure that all badges can be earned without paying for anything and by providing options for all levels of ability.

Badges are currently provided as PNGs that can be downloaded, and you are free to use the images non-commercially however you wish. As more badges become available, we aim to put out bulk files to make printing out stickers or iron on transfers cheaper, and a print out chart to keep track of what badges you have earned.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know, and please share with us anything you achieve!

There are currently 3 badges available, check this post in future for more! Links to resources under the read more.

Today’s new badge is the Astronomer badge! Learn about the solar system and whatever else you find interesting about space. We would love to know what topics you pick!

A new day, a new badge! The artist badge is all about building your confidence, trying new things and appreciating the wonderful art that you create!

NetScout’s first badge is available! The Animal Lover badge will challenge you to learn all about your favourite creatures, how to care for the animals around you and what you can do to keep your local wildlife safe and healthy.
