Being an Explorer
Explorers is for young people aged 14 – 18. We have an explorer unit attached to Mendlesham scouts known as Primates. This section is made up of explorer members from a variety of scout groups within the Stowmarket District.
Activities and what you’ll get up to
With the support, direction and guidance of Unit leaders, you’ll be encouraged to lead yourselves, design your 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; adventurous activities such as mountaineering, parascending and off shore sailing; Explorers offers fun and adventure for all.
Awards
Explorers start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It all starts with an award.
Explorer Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join Explorers. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them.
