Hello my name is Gary and I'm currently
standing in for the District Network Coordinator.
So what is the Network section all
about? Networks are involved in activities as wide ranging as kayaking, rock
climbing, water skiing, international projects in places as inspiring as
Chile. The list of activities, projects and events is almost endless. They
work with young people and help within the local community.
As well as completing prestigious Scout
Awards, you can also take part in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme. By joining
Scout Network a whole world of opportunity opens up to you.
The Scout Network consists of 18 - 25
year olds. Some Network members will also be Leaders, Assistants or part of
their local Scout Fellowship. Others will never have been involved in
Scouting before – now is the time to start. Once you become a Network
member, you can take part in pretty much any activity or event arranged by
the 237 Networks there are across the UK.
Networks’ meeting times are flexible
enough to suit their members. There are different types of Network – some
meet to serve the needs of an area and take part in a wide variety of
activities, whilst others exist to fulfill certain roles such as a service
crew at their local campsite, or concentrate on specific activities such as
rock climbing.
