With our build-your-own clue hunt books, you don’t have to wait for shipping or hope you find a retail location. Now, you can download, print, and construct your own Hood Scouts Clue Hunt before your trip.

It’s a great crafting project for the scouts that you can then enjoy when you arrive at your destination.

  • "Hood Scouts offers a refreshing escape from screens, guiding adventurers through a captivating journey of clues and discovery right in their own neighborhood. It's a breath of fresh air in our tech-dominated world."

    Nancy B.

  • "Hood Scouts isn't a guide book—it's a bonding experience for families and friends of all ages. As we explored hidden corners and solved clues together, the absence of screens allowed us to truly connect and enjoy the present moment. The kids forgot they were tourists and actually enjoyed learning about the old city.”

  • "Embarking on the Cascais clue hunt was like stepping into a real-life puzzle adventure, with beautiful surroundings. With each clue deciphered and riddle solved, we found ourselves immersed in the joy of exploration and shared triumphs."

    Troop 561

  • "The beauty of Hood Scouts lies in its simplicity and profound entertainment value. Armed with just a book and pencil, we embarked on a three hour adventure discovering the historic neighborhood. It could have taken less time but it was nice to go at our own pace which allowed us to find some nice cafes along the way.”
