Scouting has got a lot to celebrate - not only has it been one hundred years since the movement was formed, but the ever increasing UK membership has now reached well over 440,000.
With such growing numbers, scouting enables more children, young people and adults than ever to take part in an exciting range of activities, boost their personal skills, gain friends and make a positive difference to the world around them.
If you are interested in helping young and enthusiastic people reach their full potential - while having a lot of fun along the way - volunteering with the Explorer Scouts may be for you. Explorer Scouts are aged between 14-18 years old and, unlike members of the younger Scouting sections (i.e. Beavers, Cubs and Scouts), are allowed to decide what activities they do within their individual units. This could include anything from power-boating to mountain climbing, socializing or performing your heart out in a Gang Show.
Even if you have never worn a woggle in your life and are a complete scouting novice, you can still volunteer as an Explorer Leader. No specific skills or qualification are initially required although an enjoyment of working with young people and a sense of fun are essential.
