SCOUT NETWORK

Scout Network is the final youth section that makes up Scouting in the UK. With an age range of 18 to 25, Scout Network is ideal for members who want to stay in Scouting, including those who are going away to university, as Network offers a flexible approach to Scouting. Network offers the opportunity for members to complete their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards.

SCOUT ACTIVE SUPPORT

Beyond Scout Network lies the option of becoming a warranted leader or a sectional assistant, or becoming a member of Scout Active Support. Active Support is for members who want to play an active role in Scouting, but without the commitment of running a colony, pack or troop night every week.
