What are Explorer Scouts?
Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged bewteen 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the scouting family. There are many types of Explorer Scout Units, not all units meet each week, because Explorer Scouts will often be out and about at weekends or in the holidays doing activities. There will be times when Explorer Scouts will be busy doing other things such as exams, and being an Explorer Scout will have to fit around these.
