Scout Green is a hamlet and small area of farm land near the village of Tebay in Cumbria, England.

It is best known among railway enthusiasts as a location for trainspotting and photography on the West Coast Main Line between Penrith and Oxenholme, and has been a famous vantage point on the railway since its inception as the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, since southbound trains can be captured accelerating downhill from Shap Fell. A signal box was located at Scout Green, but this was removed in the 1970s when then WCML was electrified.

Another curiosity of Scout Green is its access road — it involves travelling up a single track road which runs between the carriageways of the M6 motorway.
