Golden Hind Explorer Scout Unit (for 14 to 18 year olds)

Discover the world

Explorers are a go-getting group of young people aged 14 to 18. Together, they make up the fifth section (age group), of the Scouts.

They gather in groups called Units to try new things, make new friends and conquer the small task of changing the world.

Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that will make you feel stronger and happier in the long run and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.

Whether you’re hiking to faraway lands or building a robot in your local hall, you’ll have the freedom to choose what you’d like to do, and work together with adults to make it happen.

If taking the lead sounds like something you’d like to try for yourself, sign up for the Explorer Scout Young Leader’s Scheme to get some hands-on experience volunteering with the younger Scout sections.
