The Explorer Unit is for young people aged 14-18.ย Although based at Copmanthorpe, the Unit is officially part of Ebor District, so members are able to join in a wider range of adventurous activities, with like minded people all over the York area.
What do Explorers do?
Explorer Scouts are encouraged to take part in a wide range of activities as part of their programme including traditional Scouting skills, such as camping, survival and cooking, as well as a wider spectrum of adventurous activities, from abseiling to zorbing. The Explorer meetings run on alternate Mondays, 7.30-9.00pm during term time.
