The three-year partnership will see the Scout Association "integrate" the NCS experience within Scouting in order to "support the growth of both organisations and offer new opportunities for social mixing".
The organisations said the deal will also create "unique social action and personal development opportunities for NCS graduates to support" through existing Scout programmes.
"This will help extend the reach of NCS beyond its core programme and support sustainable growth for Scouting," a statement issued by the organisations said.
They added that the move will offer new roles for NCS graduates to support the growth of Scouting in disadvantaged communities, and allow both organisations to test and learn new approaches that will improve outcomes for young people and deliver good value for money.
