Twinkl’s support through this partnership will bring learning to life through reading and storytelling. As part of the partnership, Twinkl has donated 2,500 annual licences to its online resources, alongside 60,000 copies of The Grumpy Old Stone, featuring a foreword from Chief Scout, Dwayne Fields, to support Squirrel and Beaver Scouts in completing their respective badges.

Claiming your Twinkl license: Are you a Squirrel Drey leader? You should receive a sign up email from The Scouts within the first week of our partnership with Twinkl formally launching. The email will go to the registered address for each drey automatically and you do not have to do anything until you get this email.

Claiming some of the 60,000 books:

Books can be claimed in two ways – Either by adding them to your cart when purchasing the new branded badges through Scout Stores or by completing a form for your Beaver colony or Squirrel drey. 

The claims form will be open from 02 June until 31 July. after this date the requests will be reviewed, grouped and posted during August. Regardless of when you submit, packages won’t begin to be sent until August so please do not chase, we have your request. If you plan on attending Gilwell Reunion this year, you can also collect your books here too.
