The Scout Network, is a section of The Scout Association in the United Kingdom for 18 to 25 year olds, introduced in 2003 part replacing Venture Scouts (which was for 15 to 19 year olds). Network Scouting has the operational responsibility of the Scout County.

- The Network Scout Membership Award
- The Chief Scout's Platinum Award
- The Chief Scout's Diamon Award
- The Queen's Scout Award
- The Explorer Belt
(More details of these can be found at http://www.scoutbase.org.uk/library/hqdocs/badges/explorer-index.htm)
Network Scouts work by doing what their name states, they Network, they join other Scouting groups such as becoming an Adult Leader in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout, Scout, Explorer Scout, or Support Level, they could also join Musical Bands, Duke of Edinburgh's Award, University SSAGO groups, or other organizations, the list is endless.
Network units tend to be run in a more casual basis than other sections with little formality in a lot of evenings. It is also casual in attendance as the way Scout Network works is that a programme is made and members pick what evenings they wish to attend.
There are many camps nation wide that Network Scouts attend as well. These can range from Monopoly Run in London to Evo in Hampshire. These types of events tend to include evening discos and partys, live music, reasonably priced drinks and many different activities to take part in. Expeditions also figure as part of the residential programme of the section to many different types of terrain.
Despite the differences from the stereotypical image of scouting the aims and ethics of the scout movement remain in the section.
