Warhammer
By sponsoring the Scouts Model Maker Activity Badge, Games Workshop hope to provide young people with new and creative ways to learn skills for life.
Member offer
Warhammer offer Scout and Explorer groups free resource packs, as well as exciting fiction through their free eBooks for 11+ aged readers.
Games Workshop seeks to inspire new generations of young people by immersing them in new, fantastical worlds to stoke their imaginations. The Warhammer hobby can help them to take their inventive and artistic skills to dizzying new heights!
Warhammer is the world’s greatest miniatures game. It is also an immensely creative hobby that will help a young person’s inner artist flourish, whilst also encouraging social activities and group interaction - a goal shared by Scout Groups across the country.
Scouts
Scout Resources for Model Maker Activity Badge (10.5 - 14 yrs)
Through this partnership, Scout groups can access free Warhammer resource packs, filled to the brim with goodies for young people to unpack. Each kit contains everything you need for your group to complete their Scout Model Maker Activity Badge.
Leaders can apply for a resource pack via the website, which will be sent out by post. When you register for the activity you will be given the opportunity to do the session in store, or in your meeting place. If you would prefer to hold your own sessions in your meeting place, instructions are available online to help you deliver an exciting session with your group.
The clear session plans online will help Scout groups develop the following skills:
- Plan
- Collect
- Build
- Paint
- Play
- Read
- Create
- Reflect
The resource packs provide enough materials for your entire Scout group to take part in activities. Easy to Build unassembled models are provided for building, and you will also find paintbrushes and Citadel paints for painting that will provide your group with hours of creative fun.
Scouts are encouraged to continue with the hobby beyond our activity plans, allowing young people to socialise and stage epic games together whilst improving their creativity and mathematics skills. For those Scouts that would like to continue their journey into the hobby we also have the Battle Honours programme. Information about this programme can be found on the Warhammer Alliance website.
Groups are also welcome to do their activities in their nearest Warhammer store, with assistance available from our helpful store staff who will make sure that your Scouts have a fantastic experience.
As part of Warhammer’s continuing support of the Scouting movement, existing Scout Groups will be offered the chance to apply for additional support every two years in order to continue running Warhammer activities.

For any further information or for guidance on how to run a session, please visit the Warhammer Alliance website.

Explorer Scouts Activities Guide
With the Explorer Scouts Activities Guide, you can seamlessly create sessions using one or more pre-written activities. These sessions can count towards a young person’s Creative Arts badge.
Each activity is between 20 and 60 minutes long, and they can be combined to create longer sessions. You can also find additional tasks on the Activity Finder, and build them into your sessions. You can find in-depth instructions on how to run each session on the Warhammer Alliance website.
Warhammer Skills Development Programme
Warhammer Skills Development Programme
With the Warhammer Skills development programme, young people can collect, build, paint, play, and read their way through the Warhammer universes as part of their youth achievement awards.
The programme supports Explorer Scouts with their Creative Arts Activity Badge, their Top Scouting Awards, and with the Skills section of their Bronze, Silver, or Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award. A Scout can even use Warhammer Skills to meet the requirement for multiple awards at the same time!
The programme is suitable for everyone, whether they're a complete beginner or already have some experience of miniature model building and painting. To help Explorers track their progress, Warhammer also provides a free workbook that will guide them and their chosen Assessor along their journey.
To register and find out more about the Warhammer Skills Development Programme, simply visit the Warhammer Alliance website.

Please note: if an Explorer Scout will be using Warhammer Skills for their DofE Award, applications must be made by their parent or guardian if they are under 18 years of age.
