Adventure, confidence, and real-life skills – all in one place.

Explorer Scouts is where teens aged 14–18 get stuck into the outdoors, try new things, and build independence. From camping and hiking to planning events and helping in the community, it’s all about learning by doing and having a great time along the way.

They’ll pick up skills that matter: leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, plus a real sense of responsibility. Many work towards top awards like the Duke of Edinburgh and the Queen’s Scout Award.

And through the Young Leaders’ Scheme, they can even mentor younger Scouts – gaining confidence while making a difference.

If your teen’s ready to step up, Explorer Scouts is the perfect place to start.


Explorers Promise


The Promise is a simple way to help young people and adults celebrate their shared Scout values. Scouting is available to people of all faiths as well as people who are humanist, atheist or have no affirmed faith and therefore must take account of the different religious obligations or non-religious beliefs of its Members.

Similarly, people of other nationalities who are residents of the United Kingdom and may become members of the association owe allegiance to their own country. To meet these circumstances, different variations of the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Promise can be made, allowing for the individual’s obligations while upholding the essential spirit of the Promise.
