Although a District Explorer Unit the Kingfisher Explorers meet at the URC headquarters and tend to be a natural progression for many of the Scouts when they reach the age of 14.
Continuing to use the Scout award scheme along the Duke of Edinburgh’s award, the section allows individuals to develop as they enter adulthood.
Activities that would appeal to most teenagers are mixed with the more adventurous type and expeditions.
The age range for Explorers is 14 to 18 and recognising the constraints that are put on individual’s time at this time in their life attendance at meetings is on a more flexible basis.
The unit meets on Thursday evenings from 20.00 to 21.30.
