Doncaster Danum Scout Network Information Evening
Your Scouting adventure doesn’t have to end at 18!
Are you aged 18–24, or 17½ and approaching the end of your time in Explorers?
We’re launching a new Doncaster Danum Scout Network, bringing together young adults who want to continue their Scouting journey, take on new challenges, enjoy exciting adventures and work towards some of Scouting’s highest awards.
Whether you’re approaching the end of Explorers, have recently turned 18 or have already moved on from Scouting, we’d love you to get involved.
What is Scout Network?
Scout Network is for young adults aged 18–24 who want to continue enjoying everything Scouting has to offer.
It’s an opportunity to make new friends, take part in adventures, develop new skills and work towards some incredible achievements, including:
- King’s Scout Award
- Duke of Edinburgh’s Gold Award
- Explorer Belt Award
- Scouts of the World Award
Unlike traditional Scout sections, Network is led by its members. You’ll have the freedom to help shape the programme, choose the activities and plan the adventures you want to experience.
Whether that’s an expedition, an international adventure, a community project or simply getting together with friends, the opportunities are there for you to explore.
You don’t need to become an adult volunteer to continue your Scouting journey. Scout Network is an opportunity to enjoy Scouting for yourself.
We’ve already got exciting plans for 2027!
Although we’re just getting started, there’s already an opportunity on the calendar for our new Network members.
South Yorkshire Scouts of the World Award Discovery Weekend
Friday 4 – Sunday 6 June 2027 | Squirrel Wood Scout Campsite
We’re planning for our new Scout Network members to take part in the South Yorkshire Scouts of the World Award Discovery Weekend, hosted right here in Doncaster at Squirrel Wood.
This weekend is the first step towards achieving the Scouts of the World Award (SOWA), an internationally recognised award that challenges young adults to make a positive difference through projects focused on peace, the environment and sustainability.
During the weekend, you’ll discover how the award works, hear about previous projects, explore the Sustainable Development Goals and develop the skills needed to create your own project.
Event details:
- When: Friday 4 June, 7:00pm to Sunday 6 June, 2:00pm
- Where: Squirrel Wood Scout Campsite, Burghwallis, Doncaster
- Cost: £12.50, including food and indoor accommodation
- Who: Scout Network members from across the UK
This is just the beginning! As our Network develops, members will have the opportunity to plan their own activities, camps, expeditions, social events and adventures.
Come along to our Information Evening
We’re holding an informal information evening for anyone interested in becoming part of the new Doncaster Danum Scout Network.
It’s your opportunity to find out what Network is all about, discover the awards and adventures available and help shape how our new Network will operate.
We’ll be talking about:
- What Scout Network is and how it works
- Opportunities to complete your top awards
- Planned activities and adventures for 2027
- How often we’d like to meet and what members want to do
- How you can get involved and help shape the future of Network in Doncaster Danum
Most importantly, we want to hear from you! This is your Network and we want young adults to have a real say in what it becomes.
There’s no commitment to join. Just come along, find out more and see if it’s something you’d like to be part of.
