Who are Explorers?

Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. Together, they make up the fourth 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.  Every Explorer is unique, but they find common ground in their shared Scout values and make a promise to stick by them.

Making a promise when you join the Unit is a way of celebrating these values.  Every time a new Explorer decides to join, they chat through their promise with their leader before saying it out loud in front of their fellow Explorers.

The Explorer Scout Young Leader Scheme

Explorer Scout Young Leaders are Explorers who volunteer alongside adult leaders in a 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.
