Explorers are aged 14 to 18 years old.

Try more. See more. Do more. At Explorers you’ll get the chance to dream big, find your place in the world and make memories to last a lifetime.

Explorers:

  • Discover the world on your own terms
  • Master the skills that will make you feel stronger and happier
  • Stand up for what they believe and make a difference on their own doorstops
  • Seek out the answers to the big questions
  • Say yes more often than they say no

2nd Nailsea has 1 Explorer Unit who meet every week during school term time.

Monday Evenings – 7:30 – 9:30pm

Nailsea Scout Group HQ

Each Explorer Unit is led by adult volunteers who are on hand to share their skills and keep everyone safe.

Within their Unit, Explorers are part of a Patrol – smaller groups of Explorers who look out for one another, and help each other grow. Explorers usually gather in their Patrols at the beginning and end of meetings. They might also stick together on expeditions or trips away, or during certain activities.

If taking the lead sounds like something you’d like to try for yourself, sign up for the Explorer Scout Young Leader’s Scheme to get some hands-on experience volunteering with the younger Scout sections

Useful Information

Following having time to settle in to the group, Explorers get their own set of uniform to wear during meetings and on trips away. Usually consisting of a beige shirt or blouse with their badges sewn on and a Group scarf / ‘necker’.

Alongside their shirts, Explorers might wear the accompanying blue uniform trousers or skirt, or they might save their uniform bottoms to wear for special occasions like awards ceremonies and public events – choosing to wear something more casual with their shirt during the week.

Optional accessories such as hats and hoodies are also available.
