Filmmaking Activities for Scouts

We’ve partnered with Scouts to bring filmmaking to Scout groups across the UK. Whether you're completely new to filmmaking, or already have some experience, we've collected together a whole-host of our filmmaking resources especially for Scout groups to use.

Register for a free Into Film Account now and you'll gain access to a large collection of bite-size 15-minute filmmaking activities that will help you begin or further your filmmaking journey, with a longer activity at the end that will see your Scout group create their own short film.

About the Resources

Our bite-sized resources are perfect for all Scout Leaders to successfully deliver filmmaking activities with their Scout groups - no matter what filmmaking experience you or they have.

Scout members will learn new skills, get creative, and even have the chance to earn a special Into Film blanket badge to add to their collection. Storytelling through film is a great way for young people to express themselves, build confidence, and work as a team, and learning to write short stories, turn them into scripts, storyboard, and create short films helps young people to develop important skills for life, and perhaps their future career.

At Into Film we believe anyone can make a film - there's no need for fancy equipment, just a creative mind and a willingness to try something new. And with smartphones and tablets having top-of-the-range cameras, and countless apps for editing and post-production, young people have an abundance of ways to make a short film.

So if you're new to filmmaking, just take it one step at a time with our manageable filmmaking activities to help build you and your club's skills before you dive in to make a full film.
