  • Nerf Guns

    Nerf guns fire foam darts, discs, or balls. You can use them for a whole range of fun activities: lots of people enjoy team games (a bit like a low-tech version of paintballing or laser tag), but you could also try target shooting to hone your accuracy.

    Everyone in Scouts can get stuck in – there aren’t age limits here. They also work in all sorts of locations: indoors, outdoors, and even in specially-designed arenas. Nerf guns can be a great resource  because they’re so adaptable, so you can design an activity that suits your group perfectly.
