Membership of the Group Scout Council is open to all adults with appointments in the Group, as well as the parents of youth members in the Group and Patrol Leaders. Other supporters, including former Scouts and their parents, may be admitted to the Group Scout Council.

We aim to include all of those who actively support the Group. As the Group Scout Council only meets once a year for the AGM for more day-to-day matters, the Council has a Group Executive Committee that meets regularly.

The Executive Committee consists of the Group Scout Leader, usually the Section Leaders and members elected by the Group Council (including a Secretary and Treasurer) Group scout council approves the GSL's nomination for Chairman. The Executive Committee also sets up sub-committees to perform particular tasks such as fundraising.
