Introduction

Scouting in the United Kingdom is organised in Scout Groups, Scout Districts, Scout Counties and Country Headquarters. These 'units' of Scouting provide:

support;
channels for communication;
opportunities for youth Members and adults to make decisions and take responsibility;
functional units through which the design and delivery of the programme can be best achieved.

A Scout District comprises several Scout Groups and one or more Explorer Scout Units. Additionally a District may have one or more District Scout Fellowships and Special Groups.
