Earlier today we recieved the sad news that Cherryl Thomas, who was Cub Leader and GSL at 1st Royton throughout the 90's and OO 's, and was also District Young Leader Leader for Crompton and Royton until 2014, passed away on Wednesday evening. Cherryl had been battling cancer for a while and was at home with her family when she passed.
Network
Scout Network is the fifth and final section of the Scouting movement. From the time of Baden-Powell, there have been arrangements for young people who wanted to continue after their time in the Scout Section, and in 1967, Venture Scouts were formed from the existing Senior Scout and Rover Scout Sections.
Scout Network allows 18 to 25 year-olds who have an interest in both Scouting and their own personal development, and ultimately want to have fun, the opportunity to do so.
Scout Network members take part in a variety of activities, which they undertake and organise themselves with the support of a Scout Network Leader.
Example activities include:
Abseiling, award work, bowling, camping, circus skills, climbing, cooking, games, go-karting, gorge walking, hiking, pioneering, shooting and watersports.
