Page ideas for scrapbooking boy scouts and their activities are fun to create. You can get lost in the activities if you are not careful, though. Perhaps the best way of gaining page ideas for scrapbooking boy scouts is to follow the Boy Scouts of America’s objectives: develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness.

Develop Character

Page ideas for scrapbooking boy scouts’ character development should focus on a single character trait - two at most. We found Digital Scrapbooking FREE download sports pages that do much of the work for you. Character-in-Action website offers 6 free ideas for scrapbook pages, with promise of more to come. Here are just 2 of those that are currently offered.

1. Responsibility: Slide photos of boy scouts playing basketball behind the three frames, and add a note to go with the word “Responsibility” that is lettered at the top of this scrapbook page. The digital basketball “sticker” in the bottom corner carries the theme.

2. Courage of Convictions: Among the ideas for scrapbooks that show boy scouts developing character, you could include this soccer page idea. The phrase “Courage of Convictions” heads the page, and three varied size frames are positioned for photos. A soccer ball in one corner and soccer shoes in the other help this page idea convey its message.

Character-in-Action also has ideas for scrapbooking paper that shows character development. They offer several free character scrapbooking papers on which you can develop your own ideas for scrapbook pages with layouts from the ideas above.

Develop Citizenship

To create your own page ideas for scrapbooking boy scouts, look through a local newspaper, or listen to news on TV or radio. What characteristics of good citizenship are discussed? Sometimes they are discussed from a negative standpoint. These are free ideas! Use quotes from famous citizens you might want the boy scouts to emulate. Take a trip to the library, or find quotes online.

Ideas for scrapbooking citizenship can begin with a background that resembles a newspaper or magazine. In fact, great page ideas for scrapbooking boy scouts can be found by copying the format of magazine covers. Look at magazines that feature “Man of the Year” awards, and get ideas for scrapbook pages for “Boy Scout of the Year”.

Develop Personal Fitness

Cool page ideas for scrapbooking boy scouts and their personal fitness can often be found on calendars or sports magazines. On the Character-in-Action website, we saw a swimming page layout among the free ideas for scrapbooks. Look at it, with its embellishments, and you may get new ideas of your own.

Rugged page ideas for scrapbooks would be in keeping here. Consider adding a bit of thin rope, with a knot, to a page of camping photos. Tear paper to place behind photos instead of using only frames. Form lettering with brown hemp twine.
