Face-2-Face Activities was suspended on Tuesday 17 March 2020. We have now been given permission from Scout HQ to start meeting face to face again, following new guidelines given to us by the National Youth Agency.

We are currently writing the risk assessments for us to meet face to face in small groups, and working on a scouting programme that we can do following all the guidelines that we must following during these time.

We hope to meeting back face to face very soon!

About Explorers

Get Involved

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. There is flexibility in the age range: young people can join from age 13 but cannot move to Scout Network until 18.

Introduction to Explorers

'To anyone who hasn’t tried Scouting before, I’d say come on up and have a go! I think that most people don’t really know that Scouting is about activities, friendship and meeting people from other countries. I’ve been in the Movement since I was a Beaver and I still love it!'

Some of our most committed Explorers have come from a non-scouting background before joining us.

Explorer Scouting in The Royal Town of Sutton Coldfield

We don't have a waiting list to join us, and hopefully never will, waiting list are not something to be proud of. Explorers take much more control of their own programme and the requirements on adult to child ratios aren't as demanding, there is no real justification for having a waiting list.
