Each Scout Group consists of different ‘sections’ – which may include a
- Squirrel Drey (for 4-6 year olds),
- Beaver Colony (for 6-8 year olds),
- Cub Pack (for 8-10 ½ year olds),
- Scout Troop (for 10 ½-14 year olds),
- Explorer Unit (for 14-18 year olds) and
- Scout Network (for 18-25 year olds).
A Group Lead Volunteer, is responsible for overseeing and supporting volunteers in each section and manages the Scout Group.
In Explorer Scouts and Scout Network, a District 14-24 Team Leader takes on this role.
Both Group Lead Volunteers and District 14-24 Team Leader are responsible to a District Lead Volunteer. Where a group does not have a Lead Volunteer, Leaders report directly to the District Lead Volunteer.
The District Lead Volunteer is the volunteer manager responsible for a wider geographical area. The Lead Volunteer in Mersey Weaver is Oliver Chambers
