PRINCIPLES OF EXPLORER SCOUTING |
Explorers is the section that follows Standard Troop Scouting and precedes Scout Network. Because Scout Network operates without leaders, the aim of this section is to introduce unit independence. This means self-organisation, running of meetings and management of an Activities Programme. An Explorer Unit is able to take part in activities that may be ruled out in a Scout Troop because of the age of some of the younger members.
