Scout Network
Scout Network is the section for 18-25 year olds who want to take part in Scouting activities. Many of our members are also Leaders with other sections, but Network is about giving you the opportunity to take part in activities and complete awards yourself, rather than simply running them for younger people. The majority of Network members have previously been involved in the lower sections of Scouting or Guiding, but some are completely new to the movement.
What do we offer?
Network is member-led, so we do whatever the members want to do! We offer a wide variety of local activities, and there are many opportunities to get involved in County, regional, national and international events. As well as our own events, Network members also help with several large annual Scouting events within the County, such as the Cotswold Marathon, and Sun Run & Malvern Challenge. See the Events page for a calendar showing what's coming up in the County, and the National Scout Network website for events around the country and abroad.
Awards
As well as activities, Network offers the opportunity to complete the Duke of Edinburgh's, Chief Scout's and Queen's Scout Awards.
When & Where?
There are currently 4 local Networks within the County: in Cheltenham, Gloucester, Forest of Dean, and Stroud, each of which runs differently to suit the local membership. Those in the other Districts in the County are welcome to join in with the most convenient Network, and there are also several County-wide (and larger) events each year.
