Our Sections
Explorer Scout Young Leaders (ESYLs) are Explorers who volunteer alongside adult leaders. The Young Leaders help bring in fresh ideas and act as positive role models for the young people they work alongside. Explorer groups are run at a District instead of a Group level, Young Leaders must be part of an Explorer group.
Young Leaders help the younger members at regular sessions at the hut, sessions held away from the hut and at events and camps.
Our Leaders and Team Members organise and run a wide variety of sessions for the young people to help them develop skills for life. Our Leaders and Team Members are all volunteers often having been in Scouts when younger and continue to learn new skills in their current role. Leaders do not neccessarily have to commit to being able to attend every session as we understand people have busy lives.
The Trustee Board acts behind the scenes ensuring the group complies with legal requirements and from Scouting UK in order to ensure the group has a safe environment for young people to develop skills for life.
The trustees meet approximately every 6 weeks to review matters and documents, agree actions and eat cake.
Whether is it sewing on numerous badges, assisting as meetings, helping out at annual hut cleaning days, attending hikes and camps to support the leaders, the parents and carers of the young people are an essential part of the group.
Parents and carers can learn new skills, and enjoy rewarding time with the young people as active members of the group.
