What is Scout Network?

The Scout Network is a dynamic, self-motivating Section.The ethos of the Section is that it is run by Members, for the Members: achieving a balanced programme of activities for 18 year olds up to their 25^th Birthday.

As a member of Scout Network you could be:

1. a member of a local Network
2. a Leader with another Section
3. a Helper of Skills instructor
4. a member of the Scout Fellowship
5. a member in another capacity

Our Network is based at County level, but meets locally, and Scout Networks are supported by a Scout Network Leader. As well as this, each local Scout Network should elect a Chair person from its membership, who will represent the views of the local level at the County Scout Network Council.

The definition of a Scout Network Member, from January 2007, 18 to 25 year olds must “opt-in” to the Scout Network. This means actual joining the Network, as there is no longer an automatic membership. This has implications for anyone who is completing Queen’s Scout Award, Chief Scout’s Diamond Award or Explorer Belt, as membership of the Scout Network is required to complete a Scouting Award.
