Explorer Scouts (14-18 years old)
Explorer Scouts are encouraged to lead themselves in deciding the programme and direction of the Unit, with support and guidance from leaders. The section also includes the Young Leaders' Scheme, where young people are able to take on a leadership role in one of the younger sections.
There is wider scope for activities like offshore sailing, campaigning, performing, parascending, mountaineering and expeditions.
The Explorer Scout Unit meet at the Newtown Jubilee Scout Hall, off Park Lane (along the footpath opposite the police station) on a Wednesday evening.
The group is a member of the Scout Association, a worldwide organisation who's aim is
to encourage the physical, mental and spiritual development of young people.
Scouts, Cubs and Beavers are required to wear uniform which may be purchased from the Scout Shop.
All members of the Scout Movement are required to adhere to a Scout Promise and a Law reflecting, in language appropriate to the culture and civilization of each National Scout Organization and approved by the World Organization, the principles of Duty to God, Duty to others and Duty to self, and inspired by the Promise and Law conceived by the
Founder of the Scout Movement, Baden Powell.
We are currently looking to grow our Explorer Unit, so have vacancies for 14 to 18 year olds to join our unit as Explorer Scouts. Please get in touch if you would like more information.
