Running an Explorer Unit
Week by week, thousands of ordinary people show up at Explorer meetings to empower young people to learn new skills, make new friends and learn to stand on their own two feet. No two weeks are the same, but the impact you make is always great.

The New Explorer Programme is here!
The new Explorer Programme has been redesigned with today’s young people in mind. Built with input from volunteers and young people, it focuses on helping Explorers build real-life skills, support their wellbeing, and make a positive difference in their communities.
With a mix of Activity Badges, new Challenge Awards, and Top Awards, it offers a clearer journey and more choice. It’s flexible, youth-led, and built around experiences that feel relevant, giving Explorers the chance to shape their own programme and get more out of it week by week.
