Explorers - 14 to 18 years

A white background with a few lines on it

When you join Explorers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.

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.

Explorer Leaders

All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Explorers the best it can be, but we don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions.


We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners from all walks of life – for as much or as little time as they can spare.
