Local group: Difference between revisions

Scout Groups can consist of any number of [[Boy Scout|Scout]] Troops, [[Cub Scout]] Packs, and [[Beavers (Scouting)|Beaver Scout]] Colonies. In some countries [[Rover Scout]] crews and [[Venture Scout]] crews can be part of a Scout Group.

In [[The Scout Association]] of the [[United Kingdom]], Scout Groups form a part of a [[Scout District]], and can work together on activities and events. There is also some healthy competition between Scout Groups, especially when there is only a small distance between meeting locations. Typically, there are around 10 active Scout Groups in a District.

A Scout Group is lead by a Group Scout Leader (GSL) whose responsibility is to ensure that the leaders of the different sections work together facilitating progress from one section to another by the young people in the Group. The GSL is also responsible for ensuring that the other leaders in the Group take part in leader training.

The situation in [[Scouts Australia]] is broadly the same as in the United Kingdom. [[Venturer Scouts (Australia)|Venturer Scout]] units and [[Rovers (Australia)|Rover]] crews can be in Groups or District based, but are usually District based. Groups are usually part of a [[Scout District|district]], which is sometimes part of a Scout Region.  

In [[Scouting in Queensland|Queensland]], each group aims to have at least a [[Joey Scouts (Australia)|Joey Scout]] mob, [[Cub Scouts|Cub Scout]] pack, [[Scouts (Australia)|Scout]] troop, [[Venturer Scouts (Australia)|Venturer Scout]] unit, and [[Rovers (Australia)|Rover]] crew.  

In the [[Scouting in the Northern Territory|Northern Territory]], there are no districts, and only two regions. <ref>Scouts Australia, Northern Territory Branch. [http://www.nt.scouts.com.au/AuditReport.htm Structure], 2004</ref>
