Welcome to Explorers

Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. There are many types of Explorer Scout Units, some may be linked to your local Scout Group, others may be based around different activities.

As an Explorer Scout, you will get the chance to work with other Explorer Scouts in your District, not just your Unit. By doing this, you will get the chance to do many more actvities, not just the ones your Unit organises.

There are Explorer Units throughout the County, see the links for details of a Unit near to you.

Since Explorer Scouting started in 2003, we have seen East Lancs Units in New Zealand, USA, Switzerland, Romania and Iceland as well as all over the UK. Its up to you .... get down to your local unit and join the adventure
