Explorers

The Explorers offer the fun and friendship of Scouting to teenagers aged 14-18. We meet every Wednesday in term time from 19:15-21:15. Our members are both boys and girls.

At Banderlogs, we aim to keep our Explorers active, regularly going on hikes, playing wide games, learning outdoor skills including survival, pioneering, navigation and fire-making. The Explorers have camps and do adventurous activities such as climbing, kayaking, backpacking, sailing and shooting. We also do social evenings with ten-pin bowling or going for a curry being popular.

We encourage our Explorer Scouts to build their own confidence and develop life skills by participating in schemes such as the Young Leader Award, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award or King's Scout Awards. There are opportunities to go away on organised events with Hampshire Scouts and attend international jamborees.
