Encompasses Members of District Scout Networks* as well as those joining only the UK Scout Network.

Membership is free. All 18-25 year olds not already in Scouting or not associating themselves with a District Scout Network* may join the UK Scout Network.
If a Member of the UK Scout Network subsequently assumes a local role in Scouting after joining the UK Scout Network, they will become Members of the District Scout Network*
Members participate in the three Programme Areas by forming Project Teams.
Projects should be clearly associated with one or more of the Programme Areas and should be geared to encourage recognition and attainment of Awards.
There can be one to many Project Teams at any given time, to reflect the interests and size of the UK Scout Network.
Members can be in one or more Project Teams.
Projects may have costs and these should be passed to Members.
Projects will be made available to Members of other Scout Networks through the UK Scout Network.
From time to time, Members may choose to not participate in Project Teams.
They can participate in aspects of the Programme that can be undertaken individually.
They can participate in social activities that bring Scout Network members together.
Members not in Project Teams will likely be 18-25 year olds who have other demands on their time but wish to retain the opportunity to participate in the programme as and when it is convenient for them to do so.
Members will be supported by one or more Programme Coordinators and the UK Scout Network Team.
The role of the Programme Coordinators is to support Members with their Projects and to encourage Members not currently in Project Teams to participate in the Programme and consider engaging in Projects.
The Programme Coordinators and the UK Scout Network Team are line managed by the UK Scout Network Commissioner. The UK Scout Network Commissioner has equivalent responsibilities to that of a District Scout Network Commissioner, but operates over a broader geographic area. The UK Scout Network Commissioner is line managed by the Deputy UK Commissioner for Programme (14-25).
The Programme Coordinators are, where possible, Members of the UK Scout Network. Opportunities to join Project Teams will be communicated via the UK Scout Network website and other digital channels.
