The structure of a scout unit

The structure of a scout unit has three levels as follows:

  • The Scout Unit’s Committee: It is chaired by the School principal when it is school-based or by one of the prominent sponsor when it is community-based. In case of a school-based scout unit, the Committee will be composed of 5 to 9 members comprising among others a representative of the parents, a representative of the teachers, all the scoutmasters related to the school and other persons interested. When the unit is community-based, its members are chosen among people who support scouting in the community.
  • The Scout leader: He is the leader of the unit and coordinates its activities.
  • The members: All the scouts who belong to the scout unit
