For young people aged between 14 and 18

As an Explorer Scout, you will be able to take part in a range of exciting, challenging activities, such as: camping, back-packing, mountain-biking, rafting, canoeing, climbing camping; abseiling or enjoying a trip abroad. There's a Unit meeting each week, with more activities available on other nights and at weekends. Some activities are just for fun: such as 10-pin bowling, swimming, ice-skating and movie nights. 

There will be times when you will be busy doing other things such as exams, but don't worry, Explorer Scouts fits around these - we're flexible with other things you need to do.

We have arange of badges to recognise your efforts and achievements - such as the Chief Scout's Diamond and Platinum Awards. You can also work for the Duke of Edinburgh Award and, a unique part of our programme is the opportunity to work as a Young Leader in one of our other Sections.

We also like to go abroad - finding new and exciting activities and places! Our global travels have taken us to the USA (Orlando, Washington DC, Baltimore and New York), Switzerland, the South of France, Paris; Ireland, Japan, Belgium, Netherlands and Germany. Our biggest adventure was our 2009 Easter Expedition to South Africa (see below). In 2012, we be back to Florida and on a Cross America journey - East to West Coast!
