Explorer Scouts

Explorer Scouts are aged between 14 and 18 years old, and are encouraged to lead themselves in deciding the programme and direction of the Unit, with support and guidance from leaders. There is wide scope for activities like offshore sailing, campaigning, performing, parascending, mountaineering and expeditions. Explorer Scouts can also help out as Young Leaders.

In Wokingham District there are several Units of Explorer Scouts, including Phoenix Unit that meets at Finchbase on a Monday night.

Joining as an Explorer

During your last term of Scouts, your leaders will talk to you about becoming an Explorer, and how to get on to the District waiting list. If you’re new to Scouting and want to join Explorers, please, contact Wokingham District: https://www.wokinghamscouts.org.uk/want-to-join/

The Scout Association has produced a guide for parents, which you can download here: A Parent’s Guide to Explorers.
