what is explorer scouting ?
Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged
between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth
Section of the Scouting family. There are many types
of Explorer Scout Units, some may be linked to your
local Scout Group, others may be based around
different activities.
Not all Units meet each week, because you will often
be out and about at weekends or in the holidays
doing activities. There will be times when you will
be busy doing other things such as exams, and being
an Explorer Scout will have to fit around these.
As an Explorer Scout, you will get the chance to
work with other Explorer Scouts in your District,
not just your Unit. By doing this, you will get the
chance to do many more actvities, not just the ones
your Unit organises.
