Network

Try more. See more. Do more. At Scout Network, you’ll stand on your own two feet, and make memories to last a lifetime.

Scout Network is our sixth and final section for 18 to 25 year olds. Whether you’re completely new to Scouts or have been with us since you were 4 years old, joining is a great way to meet new people, seek out new challenges and see the world.

As a Scout Network Member, you get to take part in all the usual great Scouting activities such as kayaking, climbing, orienteering… as well as work on projects helping to support your local community.

Scout Network can give you the opportunity to gain the many awards and qualification made available to you like Kings Scout Award and Explorer Belt to name just a couple.

You can also, if you choose, get more closely involved in working with the younger Sections and providing them with the same kind of opportunities you’ve had through Scouting.

Scout Network allows 18 to 25-year-olds who have an interest in both Scouting and their own personal development, and ultimately want to have fun, the opportunity to do so.

Have a look at the amazingly adventurous, fun packed, skills building programme.

Awards

If you were a Beaver, Cub or Scout, you’ll already know that being a Scout is all about completing awards at every step of the journey.

As an Explorer, there are more chances to soar than ever before, as you’ll be introduced to a whole new range of Top Awards.

You can work towards as many awards as you like, at your own pace.

Are you ready? Let’s get stuck in.

The Promise

As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best

Our Uniform

Network members wear a stone shirt or blouse with an added Scout Network uniform badge. If they like, they can also wear the nationwide UK Scout Network Scarf or their local District Scout Network scarf (known as a necker).

Badge Placement

You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
