Sections
Explorers
Ages: 14-18 years
Explorers are the fourth
section of the Scouting movement. Right from the time of
Baden-Powell, there have been arrangements for young people who
wanted to continue after their time in the Scout Section, and in
1967, Venture Scouts were formed from the existing Senior Scout and
Rover Scout Sections.
During the late 1990s we decided that, to meet the changing
needs of young people, there should be two sections for the
over-14s: Explorer Scouts for 14 to 18-year-olds,
and the Scout Network for 18 to 25s.
