All members of The Scout Association, between 18 and 25 years, are members of the Scout Network. As a member of the Scout Network you could be:

• 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 level; some may be focused around a specific activity or location, e.g. gang show, activity centre, climbing or canoeing.

Scout Network programmes will reflect 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.
