Explorer Scouts

Let’s face it; by the age of 14, most young people know what they want.

Explorer Scouts therefore have a big say in what they do, while being supported by adult volunteers.

Our Scouts feed into Challenger Explorer Unit who meet at our HQ on a Friday evening.

Unit members:

• Get to try activities such as power boating, sailing, snow and motor sports
• Deliver campsite services – running activities or helping with site maintenance
• Fundraise and help in the community
• Go on camping expeditions in the UK and abroad
• Go for The Queen’s Scout Award, Duke of Edinburgh Bronze, Silver and Gold and the Explorer Belt (a 10 day challenge abroad) – all recognised by universities and employers
• Train as young leaders – working with an experienced adult, they learn how to run activities for young people aged 6 – 14.
