Hi! We're the UK Network Team at Gilwell Reunion, and we've got a lot going on across the weekend. We're a fairly new team and are here to support you in taking part in and running Network across the UK.
We would love to hear all about your experiences with network - the good and the bad - so come and talk to us in the Programme Zone, find us in one of our workshops or fill in any of our feedback forms below.
We would also like to share in your adventures away from reunion and you can find us on Instagram (@UK_Scout_Network) and Facebook (/UKScoutNetwork). You can also get in touch with us via our email UKScout.Network@scouts.org.uk.
