What is Explorer Scouts
Explorer Scouts are young people, aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family.
Explorer Scouts are different from all the young sections they are District based not group based
Which means being an Explorer Scout you could join in any of the Activities from any of the Units in the District
eg If you normally go to Winslow but you see from the Program, Buckingham are doing climbing you would be quite welcome to attend the Buckingham Meeting (the only proviso is you contact the Leader and say you are coming)
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 activities, not just the ones your Unit organises.
The Key word for Explorer Scouts is Flexibility
Flexibility for You to join in where you want
Flexibility for You to join in when you want
Flexibility for You to join in with what you want
