'''Lone Scouts''' are members of the [[Scouting|Scout movement]] who are in isolated areas or otherwise cannot participate in a regular Scouting unit. In order for a [[boy]] to become a Lone Scout, he must meet the [[membership]] requirements of the area's Scouting organization and have an [[adult]] [[Scout leader|counselor]] who may be a [[parent]], [[Legal guardian|guardian]], [[minister of religion|minister]], [[teacher]], or another adult. The counselor instructs the boy and reviews all steps of scouting advancement. Lone Scouts can be in the Scout Section or sections for older [[young people]], and in some countries in the Cub section or sections for younger boys. They follow the same program as other Scouts and may advance in the same way as all other Scouts. | '''Lone Scouts''' are members of the [[Scouting|Scout movement]] who are in isolated areas or otherwise cannot participate in a regular Scouting unit.
