Greater London North County Scout Council
The Greater London North County Scout Council (charity number 272028) is part of The Scout Association's structure in Greater London, historically formed during the reorganization of London Scouting counties on 1 April 1965[1][5]. This replaced earlier administrative divisions, including the former London, London over the Border, and Middlesex Scout counties, with seven new entities[1][5]. While specific details about Greater London North's exact boundaries are less clear in available records, neighboring counties—such as Greater London North East—provide insight into the region's structure, which typically encompasses multiple London boroughs[4].

Governance and activities

As a Scout county, the council supports local Scout groups, districts, and volunteers in delivering youth programs aligned with The Scout Association's framework. Counties like Greater London North often facilitate training, resource allocation, and large-scale events, such as camps and jamborees, though direct references to this council's specific activities are limited in available sources[1][4].

Historical context

London's Scouting history dates to 1907, with early troops forming before the publication of Scouting for Boys[2]. The 1965 reorganization aimed to streamline governance amid London's expanding urban footprint, creating counties better aligned with contemporary administrative geography[1][5]. The charity's financial records, registered under number 272028, are held by the UK Charity Commission[3].

Note: Information remains limited; sources focus on broader London Scouting history.
