Explorers

Drymen Explorer Scouts, Orpington

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, Explorers offers fun and adventure for all. Explorers also have the opportunity to be a part of The Explorer Scout Young Leaders’ Scheme which develops their leadership skills and sense of responsibility, by helping to run meetings for younger sections.

Explorer Units are the fourth Section of the Scouting family after Beavers, Cubs and Scouts. Explorer Scouts are young people aged between 14 and 18 years old.  Young people must have left the Explorer Scout section before the date of their 18th birthday.

Activities

Explorer Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities.

There are a number of activity badges and ambitious top awards that Explorer Scouts can gain to recognise their achievements.

The Scout Promise

On my honour,
I promise that I will do my best
to do my duty to God

to help other people
and to keep the Scout Law.
