Network Wales co-ordinates activities for 18 to 25 year olds in Scouting throughout the principality. Our programme is based on three areas:
- Community
- International
- Skills and self development
Within these areas, Network members undertake a multitude of adventurous and social activities, including kayaking, climbing and mountaineering.
Network members may also have other roles in Scouting, including:
- Leadership with another section
- Adventurous activity leader
- Skills instructor
- Scout Fellowship member
- Service crew member
- Some Network members are also managers and administrators in Scouting.
What is Network Wales?
The geography of Wales often makes it difficult for large local Networks to exist. In rural Areas there may only be a handful of Network age people and so it will be impossible to run activities such as a 5-a-side tournament!
The sort of 'identities' that some large Networks elsewhere in the UK have - with their hooded tops with logos etc - will be tricky to produce if your Area Network has just 3 members!
This is where Network Wales comes in. The Network population of the whole of Wales is big enough to have this identity. Network Wales occasionally runs events for the whole of the Principality.
As well as these Wales events, Network Wales attends the big annual UK events such as National Network Gathering (at Great Tower campsite in the Lake District over Easter) and Gilwell Reunion (Gilwell Park, London over the 1st weekend in September).
