Explorers
Explorers (Ages 14 - 18)
Explorers sit at the pinnacle of the Scouting journey – young adults who think independently, lead confidently, and carry themselves with assurance.
Their programme is ambitious and outward-facing, shaped by responsibility, challenge, and service to others.
From advanced expeditions to real community leadership, Explorers are trusted to make decisions, solve problems, and set an example for those who follow.
They leave not only skilled, but sure of themselves – prepared for the opportunities and responsibilities that lie ahead.
Badge Highlights
Excellence, independence and distinction
Explorer badges and awards represent the highest levels of Scouting achievement. Young people undertake sustained challenges in leadership, expedition skills, service and personal development, often working towards prestigious awards that demand commitment, resilience and self-direction.
