New to Scouts?
We’re open to all, not just existing members, if you are 18 to 25, get started today. It’s free and there is no adult training required to be a Scout Network member.
How it works
Whether you’re organising a local meet-up or a once in a lifetime trip to the Amazon, it’s all about working together to build new skills, seek out new experiences and make a difference in the world.
Network groups are flexibly run and self-led. Members can create profiles on Social Media using the platform to meet others with similar goals and share their progress, members can also work towards a number of Top Awards.
Members manage their own journey, organising their own projects with the support of a District Scout Network Commissioner and Programme Coordinator
Being apart of Scout Network when you go away to University or Work
Scout Network is flexible. Lots of Network members work full time jobs or are often away at Uni, however the flexibility of Network means that are always activities to partake in when you are available.
As a member you have choice. This means you can be part of which ever District you want to be. If you do not wish to affiliate with any particular district, you can also opt to just be part of the UK Scout Network, which gives you the same great access to the opportunities as every 18-25 year old in the UK. You may also want to check whether your university has a Student Scout and Guide Organisation (SSAGO).
Why not become a Leader as well?
Scout Network members can also hold adult appointments. So you can be a Leader and be part of Network.
Achieve.
Inspire.
Lead.
