Explorers
Introduction to Explorers
With the support, direction and guidance of Unit leaders, Explorer Scouts are encouraged to lead themselves, design their own programme and work towards the top awards that Scouting offers. With exciting prospects like being a part of camps and expeditions both home and abroad; adventurous activities such as mountaineering, parascending and off shore sailing; Explorers offers fun and adventure for all. Explorers also have the opportunity to be a part of The Young Leaders’ Scheme which develops their leadership skills and sense of responsibility, by helping to run meetings for younger sections
Explorers is the section for young people aged 14 to 18. it gives you a chance to take part in a huge range of exciting and challenging activities, but most of all to have fun.
Explorers is designed to be challenging taking things to a level that challenges you,not impossible, not easy, but a challenge. Not all Units meet every week, partly due to activities, holidays, exams and the other commitments that crop up in a teenager’s life, and also because Explorers tend to get out and about at weekends more often than other sections.
Explorer Scouts often get the chance to work with other Explorer Scouts in their District, not just their own Unit, so can take part in an even wider spectrum of activities. There is also a range of ambitious badges and awards, through which Explorers can demonstrate their proficiency and expand their interests.
The Sea Dragon Explorer Scout Unit use 2nd Fareham's HQ and boating facilities but is a district run unit and not part of the Scout Group.
