Going for it, with a plan B (and C) up their sleeve.
Explorer Scouts is the penultimate section for young people aged fourteen to eighteen.
Many Explorers move up from Scouts, but you don’t need to have been a Scout to enjoy Explorers.
What do Explorers in the 3rd get up to?
Where do we start? From trying new things like walking in the mountains to camping in other countries. Exploring new places and making their way in life. They know their community and what small steps they can do to make it better. All the while, they speak their minds, argue their point, join the team and lead the way. All while they build the skills for that application, interview and life in general.
Many of our Explorer Scouts give back and act as guiding lights to our younger Scouts as a Young Leader. Through training and missions to help them meet the challenges, they develop their own skills while also teaching our young people skills for life.
Reaching the top and making it happen.
As an Explorer, our young people aim high for one of our Top Awards during their time with us. From completing challenges in a new country to earn the Explorer Belt to becoming the best version of themselves as they work to gain their Chief Scout's Platinum, Chief Scout's Diamond and King’s Scout Awards. Many also take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s award along the way.
Plus, with over 40 activity badges, becoming an expert in a skill is close at hand.
The handy guide can be used to show you where each badge goes.
