If you can find Scorpio there is a mess of Messiers just east of it. The 2 obvious ones are M7 and M6. M7 is visible with naked eye in even moderate skies slightly north of east of the 2 stars that make up the Stinger. They actually almost point at it. M6 is smaller and fainter and lies NW of M7.
Then there are a whole lot around the Teapot in Sagittarius.
