Explorers

Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. Together, they make up the fifth section of the Scouts.

Week in and week out, they gather in groups called Units to try new things, make new friends and conquer the small task of changing the world.

Explorer Scout Young Leaders

Explorers are also able to take part in the Young Leaders scheme and volunteer alongside adult leaders in a Squirrel Drey, Beaver Colony, Cub Pack or Scout Troop. They're a valuable asset to any leadership team and play an active role in the section, bringing a range of fresh ideas to the table and acting as positive role models for the young people they work alongside.

Young people from outside Scouting can also participate if they're working towards their Duke of Edinburgh's Award or Queen's Guide Award. 

We welcome new Explorers. Check out the How to Join page for more information.
