Play your part and help us teach skills for life.
We are looking for a Leader to help with our Explorer Scout Unit at Hook
WHO ARE EXPLORERS
Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. Together, they make up the fifth 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.
It’s all about giving the young people more freedom to have adventures on their own terms. Scouts move on between the ages of 13 ½ and 14 ½, depending on when best suits them.
DISCOVER THE WORLD
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. 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.
START SMALL BUT THINK BIG
Explorers start small but think big. They stand up for what they believe and make a difference on their own doorstops, confident in the knowledge that their daily actions add up.
Gain skills for life. Building better futures for all. Seek out the answers to big questions.
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. But we need adults to make it happen and what we are missing is you! Please come and join us in our next big adventure.
TRAINING AND SUPPORT
You’ll receive full training from the Scouts in what we need to do and the rules. The amount of training depends on the role but it is flexible and helps you in your role.
Plus there is a whole host of experience from within the Unit and District to help you make a difference. You will be supported to get started by our Training Advisors based in the District and our Group Scout Leader.
TIME COMMITMENT
We’re looking for someone who can spare a couple of hours a week, or multiple people who can cover this between them as a team. If you’re not sure if volunteering is for you we suggest trying it for four weeks. By the end, you’ll know what is involved and if it’s for you.
