Our Group
Network Members are aged 18-25 and are County based. Handsworth 273rd has a partnership agreement with the South Yorkshire Network Units.
All members of Scouting in the age range are automatically members of Network.
South Yorkshire Network have their own website. Please visit it at: http://www.synetwork.org.uk/
The aim of Network is to help develop the young adults by encouraging them to use and hone the skills they have and are learning. It aims to aid communication between this new generation of leaders.
The Network Unit at Handsworth meets on a Tuesday. For more information please contact them via the forum on their website or on network@handsworthscouts.org.uk
What do Scouts do?
Programme Zones split the whole new balanced programme into manageable areas. The Network Scout Programme is based around the same eight Programme Zones as Explorer Scouts:
Outdoors
Skills
Physical Recreation
Community Service
Environment
International
Relationships
Values
These Zones represent development areas for Network Scouts. As Network is the first Section which is not leader-run, these become self building and reflect the increasing maturity of the young adults. As Networkers are now adults, the programme here can reflect what they do running Sections of their own or offer new opportunities to develop themselves and the flexibility of essentially having a large group of equals means you can have a wider scope for the running of the section.
