Being an Explorer
When you join Explorers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things
Awards
Explorers start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It all starts with an award

Moving to Network
Eventually, it'll be time to embrace your next big adventure
Activity and Staged Badges
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.
Explorer Scout
Young Leader Scheme
ESYLs are Explorer Scouts who volunteer alongside our adult volunteers in a Squirrel Drey, Beaver Colony, Cub Pack or Scout Troop.
Uniform and Badges
You dont 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.
Explorer Leaders
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.
