Welcome to Norfolk Scouts Districts 

In Norfolk, every Scout Group or Unit is part of one of our eight distinct districts. Each district is led by a dedicated District Lead Volunteer and their team, ensuring that help, guidance, and a clear vision are provided with a local focus. This structure allows us to cater to the unique needs of our communities, fostering growth and adventure for all our members. 

Our districts are:

We’re proud of our heritage and identities, but it means that some of our groups and units have names that can be hard to place on a map! We’ve included official names in brackets. 

In addition to the groups and units listed districts also provide Young Leader provision for young people aged 14 to 18 to experience leadership and Scout Network units for young people aged 18 to 25 years old. 

East Norfolk district is led by District Lead Volunteer Shelly Okeefe.
