Explorers is the scouting section for 14-18 year olds. It is different from Beavers, Cubs and Scouts as it is instead run at a District level.
Explorers can take part in more adventurous activities than they would in the scouts, and can get more involved in the running of the unit, such as running of district camps, coordinating bases for the scouts, cubs and beavers and allowing them to gain experience of responsibility and planning. They can also develop skills such as leadership, teamwork, time management, initiative, planning, communication, self –motivation, cultural awareness and commitment.
Not only that but they maintain a strong community spirit through fundraising events, such as the annual Bonfire, this not only helps the explorers but allows them to show what they do for the local community.
We also get the explorers more involved in the running of district camps, running bases for the scouts, cubs and beavers, allowing them to gain experience of responsibility and planning.
Helping local people support local businesses
Bury and Ramsbottom Explorer Scouts aim to bring together the community and help out local businesses who might have been struggling this year. We have compiled a directory of businesses in the area in order to promote them and make it easy for them to be found.
