Explorers
Explorer Units are the fourth Section of the Scouting family after Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Explorer Scouts are young people aged between 14 and 18 years old.
Explorers are encouraged to lead themselves in deciding the programme and direction of the Unit, with support and guidance from leaders. The section also includes the Young Leaders’ Scheme, where young people are able to take on a leadership role in one of the younger sections.
There is wider scope for adventurous activities like kayaking, climbing, hiking and expeditions. Explorer Scouting fits in with the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme allowing you to work towards both DofE and Scouting Awards at the same
time.
Explorers meet Fridays 1900-2100 (Winter) 1900-2130 (Summer)
