Think you know Scouting? Think again!

Scouting is not just about tying knots and putting up tents anymore, its about adventure, opportunities and most importantly fun!

Here at Crouch Valley we try our best to do exactly what our young people want to do! So whether you fancy abseiling down a rock face, undertaking an expedition or just simply want to meet some new people - then Explorers could be for you. And its not just about the activities either, there are opportunities to visit places across the UK and the rest of the world.

 What is Explorers?

Explorer Scouts is a ‘section’ of the Scout Association for young people aged 14yrs to 18yrs (however you may join from 13½ yrs). We take part in activity programmes which include indoor and outdoor activities, camps, expeditions, trips, social events, and a number of other activities.

 

We also provide the Chief Scouts Awards and also you can register to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh Award as well if you wish (Awards can be counted towards your Record of Achievement, CV, or other records of non-academic achievement and are viewed favourably by employers and colleges/universities).

 

We are a uniformed organisation and we therefore all own and wear a uniform for special occasions, most meetings however are in non-uniform.

 

Crouch Valley Scout District covers the area of Rochford District in South East Essex spanning the towns of Rochford, Ashingdon, Hawkwell, Hockley, Hullbridge and Rayleigh. It is staffed entirely by volunteer leaders and administrators who work in Scouting in their spare time.

 

The people responsible for the management of the Explorer Scout Section are:
Vicky Hine
District Explorer Scout Commissioner


 Tom Fogg
Deputy District Explorer Scout Commissioner

 

Working alongside Vicky and Tom are a team of volunteers who co-ordinate administration of the Explorer Scout Section, in addition to the leadership team who organise and run the unit and district programmes, as well as training for Young Leaders.
