About Scout Network

The Scout Network is for young adults, aged between 18 and 25.  We make up the fifth Section of the Scouting family.

All members of The Scout Association between 18 and 25 are members of the Scout Network. you will be registered with the Area (Lanarkshire). members can set up a local Network.  Networks don't have any Leaders, but are run by the Members, for the Members.

As a member of the Scout Network you could be:

• a member of a local Network                                   
• a Leader with another Section
• a Helper or Skills Instructor
• a member of the Scout Fellowship
• a member in another capacity

Local Networks can be based at County, District or Group; some may be focused around a specific activity or location, e.g. Gang Show, Activity Centre, climbing or canoeing. It's your decision how many activities you take part in.

If you are moving away to university, make sure you sign up with the Network in your new Area/County.  That way you can find out about all the opportunities available there, as well as being able to meet up with your old friends during the holidays.

Scout Network programme reflects the huge variation in Members' interests. Some local Networks will have activities that concentrate on one area of the programme, whilst others will have a wider range. One of the key elements is the opportunity to get away, either under canvas or in other accommodation.
