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.
Young Leaders
The Young Leaders' Scheme is just one of the exciting programme
elements in the Explorer Scout section. All leaders in the
Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Section who are between
the ages of 14 and 18 must be members of a Young Leaders Unit.
They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion
of their time in Scouting to service in another section.
The Young Leaders' Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop
and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable
contribution to their community and give service to others.
The scheme also helps them fulfil the service elements of
their awards.
