Explorer Scouts - The full story
Age Explorer Scouts are young people aged 14 - 18 years of age, we are the second oldest section of the Scout movement. Our place in the Scouting Family Tree We are a district unit and work with all the groups within Blackpool district When we meet We meet for approximate. 1 ½ a week depending on which activity and unit you decide to join. We have 5 units in Blackpool and there is something on each week to suit all. Our uniform Explorer Scouts wear a smart uniform made up of a sweatshirt or polo shirt, navy cargo trousers and a unit neckerchief which is Tangerine and Blackpool. On most activity nights no uniform is worn at all except for the unit neckerchief
Your first night at Explorers When joining, you have most likely come with friends so they will look after you. if you do not know any other Explorer Scouts you will be given a buddy to look after you. In your first four weeks at Explorer Scouts you will join in all the fun activities. The leaders will help you come to know the team and members in the unit. The leaders will also help you out finding the activities available in the other units and how you can attend any off them each week. During the four weeks if you are new to Scouting the leaders will help you to achieve the following
The Unit Programme The Explorer Scouts set a 12 week structured programme, with the help of an Explorer Scout Leader Explorer Scout meetings are always fun packed, fast moving evenings. As well at the same time developing skills for life. The leaders encourage Explorer Scouts to make suggestions for activities. Make time to share their news and views. They accept Explorer Scouts as they are, celebrating their achievements and emerging talents, supporting their weaknesses and needs. All the units run separate programmes which you are allowed to pick and choose what you attend The Leaders The leadership team is made up of several Explorer Scout Leaders who are all fully trained. They also have activity helpers. All leaders/parents involved with the unit will fill in a Criminal Record Check form before an offer of help can be accepted. Why do it ?
