Explorer Scouts in Silchester

Silchester District has its own Explorer Scout Unit for young people, both boys and girls, aged between 14-18 years of age. The Young people in it have named it the Gladiator Explorer Scout Unit.

Explorer Scouts are young people, aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. There are many types of Explorer Scout Units, and ours is run as a single unit that covers the entire Silchester District.

The Explorer Scout Unit is an exciting place to be, and you will often be out and about at weekends or in the holidays doing activities. There will be times when you will be busy doing other things such as exams, and being an Explorer Scout will have to fit around these.

As an Explorer Scout, you will get the chance to work with other Explorer Scouts from across our District and County, not just your immediate village or Group. By doing this, you will get the chance to do many more activities, not just the ones our local Unit organises.
