'''The Scout Network''' is the fifth and final youth section of [[The Scout Association]] in the [[United Kingdom]], catering for those aged between 18 and 25 years. The section was formally introduced in February 2002 alongside [[Explorer Scouts (The Scout Association)|Explorer Scouts]] with both replacing the former [[Venture Scouts]] section for fifteen and a half to twenty year olds. |

There are a number of significant differences between the organisation of the Scout Network and the Venture Scouts section which it superseded. |
|||
One of the early problems suffered by the Scout Network involved the transition from a four section to a five section system, with many of the existing Venture Scout Units changing into Explorer Scouts leaving the Scout Network initially without support.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} Scout Network has consistently experiences significantly lower levels of membership when compared to the rest of the movement.<ref name="TSA report 2013"/> As a result a review was undertaken over eighteen months between starting in mid-2004.<ref>{{cite web|title=Network News and Commissioner's Question Time|url=http://www.scouts.org.uk/magazine/DecJan05/pdfs/Network.pdf|work=Network Supplement|publisher=Scouting Magazine (The Scout Association)|accessdate=17 December 2013|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071114105623/http://www.scouts.org.uk/magazine/DecJan05/pdfs/Network.pdf|archivedate=14 November 2007|pages=3-4}}</ref> The outcome of this review led to the introduction of Scout Network Leaders to help administer and guide the Network, additional local Networks rather than a single County Network and the introduction of a District Scout Network.{{citation needed|date=December 2013}} |
|||
Firstly, the age range was altered to cater for those young people aged 18 to 25 years, largely to ensure that the Scout sections tie in to other organisations, such as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme. The Explorer Scout section was introduced to fit between [[Scout Section (UK)|Scouts]] and Scout Network. The section was to be led from within, where the membership would provide the leadership necessary, under the guidance and support of an appointed County Scout Network Commissioner. |
|||
==Structure== |
|||
Originally, the administration of the Scout Network was to be the responsibility of the Scout Counties or Areas, whereas the Venture Scout Units were attached to local Scout Groups. There would, essentially, be a single Scout Network for the entire County — which was perhaps one of the contributing factors in the lack of initial success suffered by the new section. To begin with, almost all Counties had little or no membership in the section. Many of the old Venture Scout units converted to Explorer Scout units — leaving perhaps just one or two older people without a Network. However, some Counties took the lead and introduced a unit-based system (mostly based around old Venture Scout Units) coordinated by County. |
|||
Since the review of 2004-2006 there have been three distinct types of Scout Network structure. The first is a modified version of the original structure and sees the Networks run and operated by a [[Scout Counties|Countie/Area/Region]].<ref name="Current structure">{{cite web|title=Scout Network Organisation and Structure|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=8,313,199|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> This model also allows for multiple Networks in one County as long as each come together for some shared events each year.<ref name="Current structure"/> In addition to this model Networks can also be run on a [[Scout District|District]] level, with the District team taking the roles of the County team<ref name="Current structure"/>, and there are some Specialist Networks, usually based at an Activity Centre, that focuses around certain activities only.<ref>{{cite web|title=Specialist Networks|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/2744/specialist-networks?cat=8,313,199&moduleID=10|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> |
|||
The Leadership structure of a Scout Network consists of a Scout Network Leader, who is essentially an advisor or mentor to the members, and elected members of the Network who help to run it.<ref>{{cite web|title=Role description for a County Scout Network Leader|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/factsheets/FS330028.pdf|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> This usually includes a chairperson and a treasurer to manage the day to day affairs of the Network.<ref name="decision making">{{cite web|title=Decision Making|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/384/decision-making?cat=8,313,199&moduleID=10|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> In larger County networks there can often be large committees made up of representatives from all the Network groups.<ref name="decision making"/> |
|||
The slow start was eventually recognised by the Scout Association and the Network review was launched in 2006. This concluded that a more structured leadership needed to be in place within the Counties. The County Scout Network Commissioner is now supported by a number of Scout Network Leaders. These can either be attached to units or may have specific roles at a County Network level. Each County, therefore, can now officially have multiple Local Networks which may have their own identity and operate their own programmes, but remain part of the Count Scout Network and participate in County-wide activities. It is also now possible to have District Networks, which are part of a Scout District rather than the Scout County — although they remain closely linked and even the District Networks get involved in the activities of the County Scout Network. |
|||
The 2006 review introduced the option for a District to hold responsibility for a Scout Network, though this change must be agreed by the District Commissioner, County/Area Commissioner and County Scout Network Commissioner (CSNC). |
|||
All Networks should have a Network leader, who is essentially an advisor or mentor to the members. Leadership should be from within, with members taking on responsibility for organising and operating a balance programme. A Chairperson is normally elected by the members to represent the Network at meetings and to act as the main point of contact. |
|||
The review marked a return to the unit-based system that had already been "unofficially" introduced in some Counties. The section membership is growing in many areas. |
|||
The County Network is run by a committee made up of Network members, with an elected Chairman and other officers and the support of the CSNC and Network leaders. |
|||
It must be emphasised that, whilst it has an adult membership, the Scout Network is a section existing for the benefit and development of young people rather than a support function for the rest of Scouting. However, many Network members also choose to take on volunteer responsibilities as, for example, an Adult Leader in the [[Beaver Scouts (The Scout Association)|Beaver Scouts]], [[Cub Section (UK)|Cub Scouts]], Scouts, Explorer Scouts, or assist their District, or Area/County at support Level, help as an activity instructor or as a member of a campsite service team. |
|||
The Scout Network has some parallels with the [[Rover Scout]]s, which served the 17 to 24 age range between 1918 and their dissolution following the publication of [[The Chief Scouts' Advance Party Report]] in 1966.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scouting.milestones.btinternet.co.uk/rovers.htm|title=Scouting Milestones, Rover Scouts|archiveurl=http://archive.is/Es0Qq|archivedate=2011-06-14}}{{dead link|date=November 2012|bot=Legobot}}</ref><!--- See in particular towards the end of the article ---> |

|||
In contrast to other Scout sections, members of the Scout Network cannot achieve any Challenge or Activity badges with the programme instead focusing on skills that could help in future life. |
|||
The awards available in the Network Scout Section, are almost the same as those available in the [[Explorer Scout]] Section. |
|||
*The Scout Network Moving On Award |
|||
*The Scout Network Membership Award |
|||
*The [[Chief Scout (The Scout Association)|Chief Scout's]] Diamond Award |
|||
*The [[Queen's Scout]] Award |
|||
*The [[Explorer Belt]] |
|||
Members may also work towards towards the [[Duke of Edinburgh's Award]] possibly in parallel with the Chief Scout's and Queen's Scout Awards. |
|||
In 2008 the Scout Association began a trial of the Scouts of the World Award, specifically for the Network section. The Scouts of the World Award consists of three elements: |
|||
*Discovery — a residential experience focussing on the environment, development or peace. The first trial was held in July 2008. |
|||
The main three awards of the section are the [[Chief Scout (The Scout Association)|Chief Scout's]] Platinum Award, Chief Scout's Diamond Award and the [[Queen's Scout]] Award which members are encourage to undertake.<ref>{{cite web|title=Network Badges and Awards|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/network/awards/index.html|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> These awards share a similar structure to the [[Duke of Edinburgh's Award]] scheme and these latter awards can be used to complete the scouting equivalent.<ref name="QSA">{{cite web|title=Queen's Scout Award|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=8,194,347|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> The awards require members to undertake an extended period of physical activity, voluntary service and skill improvement as well as an expedition and a residential experience for the Queen's Scout Award.<ref name="QSA"/><ref>{{cite web|title=Chief Scout's Diamond Award|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=56,140|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Chief Scout's Platinum Award|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/363/chief-scouts-platinum-award/?cat=9,88,125&moduleID=10|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> |
|||
*Voluntary service — following the discovery, all participants must complete a period of voluntary service in order to contribute towards solving a problem related to the Millennium Development Goals. |
|||
In addition to these three awards the Network members can also undertake the [[Explorer Belt]] Award, which was pre-existing from Venture Scouts and allows members to undertake a 10 day international expedition, the International [[Scouts of the World Award]] which focuses on making a social impact through an international journey, and the Partnership Awards for working on large scale projects with another group.<ref>{{cite web|title=Scout of the World Award|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=8,194,717|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Explorer Belt|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=8,194,219|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Partnership Awards|url=http://members.scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=56,139|publisher=The Scout Association|accessdate=17 December 2013}}</ref> |

The Scout Network is the fifth and final youth section of The Scout Association in the United Kingdom, catering for those aged between 18 and 25 years. The section was formally introduced in February 2002 alongside Explorer Scouts with both replacing the former Venture Scouts section for fifteen and a half to twenty year olds.
History
Scout Network was created as a result of the Scout Association's Programme Review that began in 1995.[2] Throughout the 1990s, the Scout Association had been loosing 30,000 members each year and so a new programme was developed to be implemented in the new millenium.[3]
The new section was launched in February 2002 with all Venture Scout Units switching to the new system by December 2003.[4][5] The section originally formed part of the Scout County, with responsibility for the Network coming from there[6], and had a membership comprised of every member of the scout association between the section's ages of 18 to 25 years of age.[7] The Network would therefore include normal youth members as well as leaders, skills instructors and members of the Scout Fellowship, providing a social base for all members of that age, although no meeting was mandatory.[7] The revised age ranges were chosen to ensure that the Explorer Scout section received a suitable number of members and to align both sections with the age ranges of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award.[5] All meetings were to be led by the Network itself.[8] Because members could come from and take part in several different parts of scouting, the uniform chosen was the same as that used by adult Leaders and members of the Scout Fellowship (now Scout Active Support) with the addition of a Scout Network identifying badge.[9]
One of the early problems suffered by the Scout Network involved the transition from a four section to a five section system, with many of the existing Venture Scout Units changing into Explorer Scouts leaving the Scout Network initially without support.[citation needed] Scout Network has consistently experiences significantly lower levels of membership when compared to the rest of the movement.[1] As a result a review was undertaken over eighteen months between starting in mid-2004.[10] The outcome of this review led to the introduction of Scout Network Leaders to help administer and guide the Network, additional local Networks rather than a single County Network and the introduction of a District Scout Network.[citation needed]
Structure
Since the review of 2004-2006 there have been three distinct types of Scout Network structure. The first is a modified version of the original structure and sees the Networks run and operated by a Countie/Area/Region.[11] This model also allows for multiple Networks in one County as long as each come together for some shared events each year.[11] In addition to this model Networks can also be run on a District level, with the District team taking the roles of the County team[11], and there are some Specialist Networks, usually based at an Activity Centre, that focuses around certain activities only.[12]
The Leadership structure of a Scout Network consists of a Scout Network Leader, who is essentially an advisor or mentor to the members, and elected members of the Network who help to run it.[13] This usually includes a chairperson and a treasurer to manage the day to day affairs of the Network.[14] In larger County networks there can often be large committees made up of representatives from all the Network groups.[14]
Awards
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/88/Queen%27s_Scout_Award_%28The_Scout_Association%29.png/150px-Queen%27s_Scout_Award_%28The_Scout_Association%29.png)
In contrast to other Scout sections, members of the Scout Network cannot achieve any Challenge or Activity badges with the programme instead focusing on skills that could help in future life.
The main three awards of the section are the Chief Scout's Platinum Award, Chief Scout's Diamond Award and the Queen's Scout Award which members are encourage to undertake.[15] These awards share a similar structure to the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme and these latter awards can be used to complete the scouting equivalent.[16] The awards require members to undertake an extended period of physical activity, voluntary service and skill improvement as well as an expedition and a residential experience for the Queen's Scout Award.[16][17][18]
In addition to these three awards the Network members can also undertake the Explorer Belt Award, which was pre-existing from Venture Scouts and allows members to undertake a 10 day international expedition, the International Scouts of the World Award which focuses on making a social impact through an international journey, and the Partnership Awards for working on large scale projects with another group.[19][20][21]
Events and activities
The Scout Network programme is based around activities in three self-development areas of international, skills & development and community. Aside from this, individual events are the choice of the Network members themselves.
In addition to the programme, Network members have the option to attend several events held annually. The main national event, held by the Scout Activity Centres subsidiary, is the Intense camp at Woodhouse Park Scout Activity Centre.[22] In addition however, Network members are able to take part in local events, County organised events and other large scale events held by Network groups nationally.
