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 youth programme can be best achieved.

A Scout Group comprises one or more of any or all of the following: a Beaver Scout Colony; a Cub Scout Pack or a Scout Troop. Additionally, a Group may also include one or more Group Scout Fellowships. An Explorer Scout Unit may also be attached to a Scout Group (see Rule 3.16)
