Scouts at the District Scout Camp in 2022 partaking in a pioneering project, building a bridge!

Across the District and the UK we’re proud to be a single family of Scouts. But to make sure everyone gets the support they need, we are arranged in different Groups and Units across our District. Each is looked after by a volunteer manager who supports other volunteers to help young people gain skills for life.

The basic unit of organisation is the Scout Group. This is based in a local community and usually consists of Squirrel Scouts, Beaver Scouts, Cub Scouts and Scouts. Explorer Units are operated directly by the District.

Some Groups are larger or smaller depending on where they are located. One Group may contain one or two Squirrel Scout Dreys, one or two Beaver Scout Colonies, one or two Cub Scout Packs and a Scout Troop.
