Young Leaders
The Young Leader’s Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout section. All leaders in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts who are between the ages of 14 and 18 must be members of an Explorer Scout Young Leaders’ Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion of their time in Scouting to service in another section.
The Young Leaders’ Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their community and give services to others. The scheme also helps them fulfil the service elements of their awards.
