Scout Districts

Scout Districts help volunteers develop, improve Section programmes, and support Scouts to run in the best way possible.
They keep volunteers working well together and feeling motivated. They also make sure the 14-24 Sections are working well and are well regarded in their local community.
In each Scout District there are six types of teams:
District Leadership Team
lead, inspire, and motivate the district
District Support Team
support scouting in the district and help keep things running smoothly
District 14 – 25 Team
support the explorers and network provision across the district
District Volunteer Development Team
ensure volunteers across the district are well supported
District Youth Team
champion youth shaped scouting across the district
District Programme Team
bringing section teams together with other activity experts
District Trustee Board
provides governance
Some Districts might find it helpful to have sub-teams, such as a climbing sub-team of the Programme Team, or a campsite service sub-team of the Support Team.
Multiple Districts can share some functions or teams. In this case, the District Leadership Teams make sure the teams are meeting their own District’s needs.
