Network Updates

Opportunities for 18–25-Year-Olds

Scouts NI Network is being re-energised to create more opportunities for 18–25-year-olds across Northern Ireland to connect, build skills and enjoy Scouting in a fresh and social way.

Network is designed specifically for young adults. While many Network members also volunteer as leaders, this is a space focused on their own development, experiences and connections.


What is Network?

Network offers:

  • Opportunities to meet other 18–25-year-olds from across Northern Ireland
  • Social and skills-based activities
  • Outdoor challenges and shared experiences
  • A space shaped by young adults, for young adults

What’s Coming Up?

We’re currently developing a range of activities for Network members.

Belfast Monopoly Run – April 2026

A Belfast-based Monopoly Run is being planned using the same digital system delivered successfully in London.

It will be interactive, fast-paced and a great opportunity to meet other Network members.


Network Camp – 19–21 June 2026

A full weekend camp bringing Network members together from across Northern Ireland.

Expect outdoor activities, practical skills, shared challenges and a strong social atmosphere.


Mental Health Walks

A series of Network mental health walks are also being developed, creating space to connect, get outdoors and support wellbeing.


Stay Connected

All dates, booking details and updates will be shared through the dedicated Network WhatsApp channel.

If you’re aged 18–25 and would like to be involved, join the channel to stay informed.


Not Registered as Network?

If you’re aged 18–25 and currently volunteering as a leader but not registered as a Network member, speak to your District Lead Volunteer (DLV) or contact Grace Owens (graceowens@scoutsni.org) to be added to Network communications.
