Take the adventure to the max and explore on a global scale.
Explorer Scouts is the section for 14 to 18 year olds. They’re leaders and shapers. They choose their adventure and go even further than before. Camping and trekking in the UK and abroad, they really do live up to their name.
Explorer scouts give something back as a Young Leader and can reach the top by going for the top awards. These all give our explorer scouts skills to set them up for life so their CV can really come alive.
Explorers in our district
Every year the Explorers in our district join up to enjoy some big events. They also take part in bigger events with other Explorers from across Hampshire, the UK and the world. From the Kudu night incident hike, the London Monopoly Run, the national Winter camp and the (roughly) four-yearly Suisse Adventure to Kanderstag International Scout Centre.
We have Explorer Units at Hartley Wintney, Hawley & Frogmore, Hook and Yateley so chances are you’re not far from one. Explorers often take part in expeditions including the DofE Bronze, Silver and Gold awards.
Explorer Units are supported by our District Explorer Scout Commissioner, Mike Dawson. You can contact him at [email protected]
