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 Leaders to make decisions and take responsibility;
functional units through which the design and delivery of the programme can be best achieved;
A Scout County comprises several Scout Districts and one County Scout Network. Additionally the County may have one or more County Scout Fellowships.
