Our Explorer Scout Young Leaders

Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18.

Together, they make up the fourth section of the Scouts. Being an Explorer is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are. Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.

Explorers can also take part in The Scout Association’s Young Leaders’ Scheme, which is a unique, challenging and unforgettable opportunity to step out into leadership volunteering with Beavers, Cubs or Scouts.

The Scheme offers you an amazing chance to learn leadership skills, gain experience and confidence, and help others to learn and enjoy themselves. It is invaluable preparation for all sorts of careers and is a great boost for your CV, helping you get ahead with further and higher education applications and future employment.

The scheme is also open to young people who are undertaking the Duke of Edinburgh’s (DofE) or Queens’s Guide award. As a Young Leader, you will help adult leaders to plan and run meetings and events.

You will get to take part in training that is flexible, practical and devised to equip you with the skills you need to work well with younger people.

You can still take part in your usual Explorer activities as well as joining a local District Young Leader Unit.

Meetings

Explorers meet on Friday evenings 7:15 – 21:00
