Independence Beckons!
Buxted Scouts is linked to the Falcon Explorer Unit, with scouts usually moving up at age 14. With the support, direction and guidance of unit leaders, Explorers have the freedom to design their own programme, lead themselves and work towards the top awards that Scouting offers.
Discover the world…
Being an Explorer is all about discovering the world on your own terms and making the most of what you have, wherever and whoever you are.
Alongside your new friends, you’ll master the skills that will make you feel stronger and happier in the long run, and try things you’d never get the chance to do at home or at school.
Whether you’re hiking to faraway lands or building a robot in your local town hall, you’ll have the freedom to choose what you’d like to do, and work together with adults to make it happen.
Start small, but think big…
Explorers seek out the answers to the big questions, and to the smaller questions that don’t seem to matter but really should.
Most importantly, they say yes more often than they say no – whether they’re signing up for their first major hike across Europe, or writing their first line of code, or accepting the last of the toasted marshmallows.
Sound like fun? That’s because it is. All that’s missing is you.

What do we do?
It’s like Scouts, but activities can be more adventurous or challenging. After all, they’ve developed some serious scouting skills by this stage. The camps might be more remote and hikes could involve mountaineering. But often it’s much like a bunch of friends meeting; they might go ice skating or to the cinema, how Explorers spend their time is up to them, they set the agenda.
Adult leaders in the making
Explorers will have the opportunity to be a part of the Young Leader scheme which develops leadership skills and a sense of responsibility by helping to run meetings for younger sections. An Explorer reaching 18 doesn’t need to signal the end of their scouting journey, as he or she can then move into the adult Scout Network and an adult volunteer role. After all, scouting skills are for life.
