A Student Scout and Guide Club may be formed in a higher education or further education institution.

A Club is recognised through the local Scout and Guide County after its constitution has been approved by the local Scout and Guide Commissioners.

The aim of a Student Scout and Guide Club is to promote a framework within which Scout and Guide and other social activities may take place, ideas may be exchanged, and students may maintain, renew or acquire an interest in the principles of Scouting and Guiding.

The purpose of a Student Scout and Guide Club is:

• to provide a programme of activities for its members whether or not they are Members of the Scout and Guide Movements;

• to create a wider understanding and appreciation of the work of the Scout and Guide Movements, particularly among fellow students, by spreading information and by example;

• to render service, as a Club, to Scouting and Guiding and the community;

• to maintain relationships with the Scout and Guide Movements locally.

Students who wish to establish a Student Scout and Guide Club in a higher education or further education institution must seek the approval of their Students' Union and draw up a constitution, embodying the aim and purpose of a Student Scout and Guide Club.

They must then submit it with a Student Scout and Guide Club Registration Form for approval by the local Scout and Guide Commissioners, who must forward it to their respective Headquarters for registration.

A registered and recognised Club receives Associate Organisation status of The Scout Association and is officially recognised by Girlguiding UK.

All Student Scout and Guide Clubs must affiliate to the Student Scout and Guide Organisation.

A Club elects its own Committee from among its members and is responsible for the organisation of meetings and planning activities.

A Club is self-financing and is required to pay the annual affiliation fee to the Student Scout and Guide Organisation.

All Student Scout and Guide Clubs must comply with the Camping, Activity and Safety Rules of The Scout Association and Girlguiding UK.

A member of a Student Scout and Guide Club who is also a Member of the Scout or Guide Movement may wear the Student Scout and Guide Club Badge on uniform.
