Cambridgeshire Scout County (The Scout Association)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Map of England highlighting the location of Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire is a Scout County and part of the Scout Association of the United Kingdom. It is concurrent with the political county of Cambridgeshire, and provides Scouting opportunities for young people and adults in the area.^[1]

[edit] Organisation

The County is currently divided into ten Scout Districts. The divisions within the County are reviewed periodically, with the aim of improving the organisation and provision of Scouting in the region. This has sometimes involved the creation or dissolution of Scout Districts, or simply the redrawing of boundaries.

The Districts each divide into a number Scout Groups and Explorer Scout Units, providing Scouting for young people from the age of 6 and up. The County also manages the Scout Network, which is the programme section for 18-25 year olds in Berkshire. The County Scout Network consists of a number of Local Scout Networks.
