Dorking – Mole Valley Network
Scout Network is the sixth and final section of the Scouting movement. Leatherhead and Dorking share a unit called Mole Valley Network.
Scout Network members take part in a variety of self-led activities, which they undertake and organise themselves with the support of a Scout Network Leader.
By participating as a Network Scouts it means some of the top awards can be offered to you from county to participate in such as the Chief Scouts Diamond Award, the Explorer Belt, Duke of Edinburgh or The King’s Scout Award more easily.
It also means some of the more ‘social events’ for this 6th Age Group in Scouts can be also offered to you, the events are for example:
- Roverway (up to 22 years of age)
- Moot
- Gilwell Reunion
- Network Gathering
- The Network Festival (Formerly known as ‘PubScouts’)
- General Expeditions (e.g. three weeks in Madagascar in 2025)
- General Day Activities (e.g. Monopoly Run)
There are also a few expeditions and county events that you can participate in, as well as the opportunity to keep it more local such as shooting or archery if you wish. (please check out Surrey Scouts for more info).
It also means if you wish you can take part in some of the more social Teams that Surrey Scouts have on offer such as to name just a few:
- The Mountaineering Club,
- PEAK (Hillwalking and Adventurous terrain)
- The Surrey Rifle Unit who run shooting experience days.
We are excited to be working with our friends Leatherhead District Scouts to launch a joint Network unit called ‘Mole Valley Network’ at the end of this year.
As two districts we feel that we will be able to jointly run a thriving network unit for those aged between those based in and around Moley Valley!
