Welcome Hi, I’m David Holmes and I’m County Scout Network Commissioner. I’d like to welcome you to Durham Scout Network, the section for all 18-25 year olds. This is the most flexible section in Scouting. It’s run by its members, doing exactly what its members want. That could be anything from walking in the Lake District, to International events, to refurbishing areas of your local campsite. There is bound to be something in Scout Network for you. Most importantly, Scout Network is your section, so the more you put in the more you’ll get out. It is most definitely what you make it. This document has been designed to give you all of the information you need. If you get to the end and still have some questions or even better want to get involved and find out what we’re doing, then please feel free to contact me at
[email protected] I look forward to meeting you soon. What is Scout Network? If you're 18 to 25 you can get the most out of your Scouting by joining Scout Network. As a member you get to take part in all the usual great Scouting activities such as camping, climbing, orienteering, as well as working on projects helping to support your local community. If you choose you can also get more closely involved in working with the younger Sections and providing them with the same kind of opportunities you've had through Scouting. As a member of Durham County Scout Network, you automatically become a member of the national Scout Network and can attend any Scout Network meetings/events across the UK – as long as you let them know you’re coming! Our members meet in local Networks around the County.
