How we organise Districts
Scout Districts help volunteers develop, improve Section programmes, and support Scouts to run in the best way possible.
They keep volunteers working well together and feeling motivated. They also make sure the 14-24 Sections are working well and are well regarded in their local community.
The District Leadership Team is made up of:
- District Lead Volunteers
- Team Leaders of each District Team
- Lead Volunteers of each Group in the District
- District Youth Leads
- Other Leadership Team Members who may have specific responsibilities
Each District has a:
- Leadership Team
- 14–24 Team
- Programme Team
- Volunteering Development Team
- Support Team
- Trustee Board
