Crankwood Firestarters
We meet regularly on a Thursday, between 7 – 8:30pm.
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.
Scout Promise
The Scout promise is used by all sections from Scouts and upwards, including Explorers.
Uniform and badge placement
You don’t need a uniform to join. But once you’ve settled in, you’ll start speedily earning badges, and you’ll need to know where to put them!
The Explorers’ uniform consists of a beige long-sleeved shirt or blouse or short-sleeved shirt, with a single breast pocket and button-down collar. This uniform also identifies explorers as Young Leaders when in post at another section.
Moving to Network
Eventually, it’ll be time to embrace your next big adventure.
