Scouting is the largest
movement for boys and girls aged 6 – 25 in the
They are
encouraged to try something new, feel the buzz of the challenge and then
reflect on their achievements.
In August six members successfully completed the
high ropes challenge at EXTREEME ADVENTURE in
Adventure and fun are at the
core of Explorer Scouts. The Keyworth leaders help members of the section to
fulfill their physical, intellectual, social and spiritual potential.
The
Explorer Scouts work in teams, learn by doing and thinking for themselves. They
help plan their own program of activities and take responsibility for some of
the organisation and implementation.
This term will see our
members taking part in activities such as winter camping, circus skills,
aboriginal painting, climbing, white water rafting, camp cooking and sub aqua.
Most members join from scouts or guides, but you can also join with no
experience. Some Explorer Scouts combine membership with being in the Air
Training Corp or similar.
Whilst the section has more than 20 members we’re always interested to
hear from girls and boys aged 13 – 15 who would like to join, and are prepared
to make the commitment that membership brings.
