District Team
Our District Team is there to lead, support and develop Scouting within our District. They review the progress, standards and effectiveness of programmes within Groups, Explorer Scout Units and the District Scout Network.
Our District Team is deliberately lean as our approach is to support a self-sustaining model of groups working together and supporting each other. Our District provides advice and guidance, brokers support from other groups, districts or the county where needed and, where necessary, will provide direct intervention and support.
