Cellular or Cobweb Sections

A 'Cobweb' Section consists of between two and six Lodges/Sixes/Patrols, each with between three and eight young people, in isolated villages or hamlets meeting locally under an Assistant Leader, perhaps with a Section Assistant, weekly in their own 'den'. They then come together for a more traditional Section meeting once a month, either in the most convenient centre or rotating round each village.

Such an arrangement might, alternatively, be based at a centrally located school with Patrols built up on a village basis.

Young people in hamlets and small villages usually know each other and so may naturally come together. Where numbers within Sectional age groupings are too small to form a Lodge/Six/Patrol integrated units (perhaps called dens) may be needed (with the approval of the District Commissioner - see resource material on Integrated Sections & Policy, Organisation and Rules).
