Leadership Team


We are always looking for new leaders to help with what is one of the most successful District Explorer Groups in the County. Many of our leaders also have qualifications in a variety of outdoor pursuits which enables us to offer a wide range of activities from within our own resources.

If you like hill walking, caving, canoeing, climbing or any other outdoors activities and have time to spare to help us offer activities please get in contact and we will be happy to chat about what we do.

I need photgraphs and better descriptions to go on here, please email me

Sally

Sally is the Explorer Scout Leader of our Young Leaders Unit. She organises all our young leader training and helps keep Young Leaders in contact with Explorer activities

Although some Young Leaders also attend regular Explorer Units, not all do, and Sallys role is crucial to ensure that the teenagers who volunteer to give their time with the more junior units still get an opportunity to take part in the activities offered to Explorers within the District.
