Explorers – 14 to 18 years
Try more. See more. Do more. At Explorers you'll get the chance to dream big, find your place in the world and make memories to last a lifetime.
When you join Explorers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.
Explorers start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It all starts with an award.
Master something you love, or try something shiny and new. If it spurs you on or stirs your interest, we’ve probably got a badge for it.
ESYLs are Explorer Scouts who volunteer alongside our adult volunteers in a Squirrel Drey, Beaver Colony, Cub Pack or Scout Troop.
Eventually, it’ll be time embrace your next big adventure.

What to wear at Explorers
All of our leaders are trained volunteers working to make Explorers the best it can be, but we don’t just need swashbuckling adventurers to lead our expeditions. We also need tidy-uppers and tea-makers and great listeners from all walks of life – for as much or as little time as they can spare.
