Groups

A Scout Group may consist of four sections 

• Beaver Colony (6-8yrs),

• Cub Scout Pack (8-10½yrs)

• Scout Troop (10½-14yrs)

• Explorer Scout Unit (14-18yrs).

A Group Scout Leader is responsible for a Scout Group assisted by Leaders and assistant Leaders for each section. The section Leaders report to the Group Scout Leader. who in turn reports to the District Commissioner. A Group would ideally have it’s own Chairperson, Secretary and Treasurer and hold it’s own AGM.
 

The Groups are identified numerically and include the District and frequently also a place name in their title. The Group number goes back to their original formation and registration and does not change (the numbers of several of our Groups go back 80-90 yrs). If a Scout Group closes down the number is sometimes re-used later on for a new Group.
