Adult resources: Guidelines for opening a new scout group

If Scouting isn’t available in your community, why not think about opening a Group near you?  Make contact with your District or Regional Commissioner and they will give you support and guidance along the way.

A Scout Group is formed in either the community, at an NGO/Church or in a school when they enter into a partnership agreement with SCOUTS South Africa.  This agreement can be found here: https://www.scouts.org.za/ratified-social-partnership-agreements/ If there is a Development Officer for the area where you are living, they will help you start up the group, in conjunction with the DC and RC.

It is simple and easy, and if the following steps are followed you will have success!
