South Leicestershire District Explorers

Welcome to the web site of South Leicestershire District Explorers.

Explorers are aged 14 to 18 and take members not only from Scouts, but also Girl Guides and even new entrees who may not have had any previous ‘uniformed’ experience. We offer a balanced programme of activities, which not only offer the more usual outdoor and adventure skills, but also have many elements of community service and also an international feel.

Our aim is not just to ‘keep kids off the streets’, although there is no doubting that that is important, but also to build an ethos of team work, healthy competition and to facilitate young people taking an interest in their own personal development.

Our primary feed is from the various Scout sections in our District - Broughton Astley, Claybrook and Ullesthorpe, Countesthorpe, Gilmorton, Kilworth, Leire & Dunton and Lutterworth.

South Leicestershire District Explorers meet on a Tuesday night from 19:30 - 21:30, primarily at the Ullesthorpe District Campsite. and also on a Friday Friday night from 19:30 - 21:30, primarily at the Broughton Scout Hut (although this may change). The Explorer Scout Leader is Mathew Leggatt (see Contacts page).

Should you be interested in joining South Leicestershire District Explorers. please contact our District Explorer Scout Commissioner Derek Stone (see Contacts page).
