Scouts
Can you offer time to help our group grow?
Explorers Scouts are for young people aged between 14-18 years of age and currently we have nearly 40 regularly attending. The young people are supported by a leader team of 4 adults who could do with a little more help.
The unit run a fantastic programme of activities; recent ones have included Ice skating, camping underground, Knights in cardboard to list a few. The unit offer Duke of Edinburgh Award Bronze and Silver as well as a full range of outdoor stuff including Walking, Sailing, & Canoeing. Check out the units blog to get more of an idea:
