Scout group

At The Boy Scouts Association's Bournemouth Conference of April 1927, John Frederick Colquhoun presented a paper titled 'The position of Rover leaders' which resulted in discussion on co-ordination (i.e. who was in charge) between Wolf Cubmasters, Scoutmasters and Rover leaders that led to the establishment of the Scout Group organizational structure and new rank of Group Scoutmaster from 1 January 1928.

Venturer units can be group- or district-based, depending on the numbers in the district at the time.

Sponsored groups also exist, which are joint ventures between Scouts Australia and another body such as schools or churches.

Sponsored groups deliver a slightly altered program in conjunction with their parent bodies.

A typical Scout group is composed of a pack, a troop and a Rover crew.

In Corpo Nazionale Giovani Esploratori ed Esploratrici Italiani (CNGEI) each Scout group can only include at most one pack, a troop and a rover crew.

[12] Scout Groups are managed by an executive committee, with a chairman, secretary and treasurer.

Typically, this involves agreements to support certain events in exchange for the use of a building or some financial payment.

Within the B-PSA the group is responsible for local provision through the entire age range.
