Welcome to Pendynas Scout Network, Falmouth!
Pendynas Scout Network is the section for all 18 - 25 year oldswithin the Scout Association, and it is the last chance for members to really do something for themselves. Pendynas Scout Network is flexible, and once you become a member, you are automatically a member of any Scout Network across the UK!
Pendynas Scout Network is designed to fit in around it's members. If you are already involved in Scouting as a Leader or Fellowship member then you can still be an active member of Scout Network. If your time only allows you to particpate once a month, then that's fine. Likewise, if you go away to University, through your Local Network you can get in touch with your nearest Network and carry on Networking!
What can you do? Put simply, you can do (just about) anything you want! Network Scouts are involved in activities such as camping, rock climbing, water sports, International Projects and working in the local community. And that's just a start! There are terrific Awards available to achieve, The Queens Scout Award and The Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme to name a few.
What if something doesn't take your fancy? Just come up with an idea and slot it in to the programme, it really is that easy! Scout network is going to be big!
