Meeting
Explorers is the final youth section in the scouting family. Explorers range from 14 to 18 years old. Explorers form the fourth section of the Scout Association where young people have wanted to continue after the scout section. Explores offers young people the chance for exciting new adventures, like doing the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and putting into practice skills they learned as scouts.
Explorers is technically a District Section, however we have a partnership agreement with Sabre ESU which enables 4th Bramhall to share all our equipment and facilities with them making them feel like part of the group even though we are not in-charge.
Sabre Explorers currently meet Tuesday 7:30pm – 9:30pm
Being an Explorer
When you join Explorers, you’ll be introduced to lots of new activities, people and things.
Activities and what you’ll get up to
With the support, direction and guidance of Unit leaders, you’ll be encouraged to lead yourselves, design your own programme and work towards the top awards that Scouting offers. With exciting prospects like being a part of camps and expeditions both home and abroad; adventurous activities such as mountaineering, parascending and off shore sailing; Explorers offers fun and adventure for all.
Awards
Explorers start small but think big, always challenging themselves to do more and be more. It all starts with an award.
Explorer Promise
As a values based movement we all make the ‘The Promise’ an oath that helps us to be our best
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t 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.
Moving On
Eventually, it’ll be time embrace your next big adventure. Whether this is at University or into work, you can still be part of Scouting.
Explorer team members
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.
