For young people aged 14 to 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 like to go abroad! Our global travels have taken us to Orlando in Florida; Switzerland; the South of France; Paris; Baltimore and New York. Our Summer 2006 expedition saw us in Japan - staying for one week in Osaka then in Tokyo with visits to Kyoto and to Mt Fuji. For Summer 2007 we were in Florida for an action-packed two-week High Adventure Camp plus theme park visits. We'll be in Paris for Summer Camp 2008 and we're planning an amazing trip to South Africa in 2009.

We have a whole range of badges to recognise your efforts and achievements such as the Chief Scout's Diamond and Platinum Awards. The highest award you can earn is the Queen's Scout Award. This is recognised by many employers as the sign of someone that is enthusiastic, dedicated and reliable. You can also work for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. You might choose to work as a Young Leader in one of our other Sections.
