Young Leaders are an important part of our team. They are part of our planning, and help us to deliver our varied and interesting programme. Being a Young Leader counts as the volunteering element of the Duke of Edinburgh Award, and also enables Explorers to work towards becoming a Queen's Scout - the ultimate award for young people in UK Scouting.
If you are aged 14 - 18 and would be interested in joining us, please get in touch, we welcome Young Leaders to work with all 3 of our sections. You do not have to have been a Scout to become a Young Leader.
