The official age for explorers is 14 however. You can become an explorer scout from 13.5 years old. So if you have a group of friends who are either older or younger there is flexibility to allow you all to come up at the same time.

At present we have two units Kilderkins and Firkins which meet on a Tuesday and Wednesday. You are not tied to going to one unit or the other just whichever unit suits you best.

Of course you can, scouting is open to all. If you would like to bring a friend that's ok, not a problem, they will be required to provide the usual contact details and an emergency contact when they first arrive.

After you turn 18 you will be too old for explorers and will move onto network, which is for between 18 - 25 year olds. You can also become a fully qualified leader after training for your wood beads and then play an active role in scouting as an adult
