Explorers

Being an Explorer is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.

During the late 1990’s it was decided that, to meet the changing needs of young people, there should be two Sections for the over-14’s: Explorer Scouts for 14 to 18-year-olds and the Scout Network for 18 to 25’s

Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that will make you feel stronger and happier in the long run, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.

Whether you’re hiking to faraway lands or building a robot in your local town hall, you’ll have the freedom to choose what you’d like to do, and work together with adults to make it happen.

“To anyone who hasn’t tried Scouting before I’d say come on up and have a go! I think that most people don’t really know that Scouting is about activities, friendship and meeting people from other countries. I’ve been in the Movement since I was a Beaver and I still love it!”

Explorers seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don’t seem to matter but really should.

Most importantly, they say yes more often than they say no – whether they’re signing up for their first major hike across Europe, or writing their first line of code, or accepting the last of the toasted marshmallows.

Sound like fun? That’s because it is. All that’s missing is you.
