About Scout Network
The Scout Network is a group of 18 - 25 olds who meet in a Scout County or District and have an interest in both Scouting and their own presonal development. They take part in activities, which they undertake and organise amongst themselves and meet when they want to, perhaps weekly, monthly, or once a quarter. Adults aged between 18-25 are eligible to register as a Scout Network member subject to a staisfatory criminal records check.
Membership of the Scout Network is flexible. Once someone becomes a member, they automatically become a member of all Scout Networks across the UK. As part of the Scout Network they can undertake Scouting in any combination of the roles listed below:
- A member of a local Scout Network
- A Leader with another Section
- A Sectional Assistant or Skills Instructor
- A member of the Scout Fellowship
- A member in another capacity
- A student at a university or college
The Scout Network is quite different from the other four Sections of The Scout Association in the way it operates. It is an adult Section that benefits from greater opportunities around adventurous activities, tailored personal development and programmes to suit the local membership.
