Overview of the role


The Northern Europe District comprises of 10 Scout Groups with a total membership of approximately 700 young people and 300 adults. (2022 Census). The groups in the District include:

  • 1st Amsterdam - Netherlands
  • 1st Brussels - Belgium
  • 1st Djursholm - Sweden
  • 1st Prague (Czech Republic) - Czech Republic
  • 1st Shape International - Belgium
  • 1st Stavanger - Norway
  • 1st The Hague - Netherlands

  • Telstar (Luxembourg) - Luxembourg


We are looking forward to the challenges that 2023 bring in growing the District and the opportunities to deliver first-class scouting to all our young people. Whilst most of the Groups are separated by some considerable distance, they have been increasingly working together over the last few years with district camps and other events. The District is at an exciting stage of its development and there is the opportunity to build on strong foundations laid by the outgoing District Commissioner.
