Becoming a Young Leader:

• The Young Leader Learning scheme is designed for the Explorer age Group. 
• The age group is from 13 and a half Years up to 18 Years Old. The “Orange Card” is Guidance for the Young Leaders to follow.

Young Leaders have 2 Options that they can…..

• Attend both Explorers and also as a Young Leader.  
• Attend as a Young Leader only, but they would still need to be registered as an Explorer

• At times to meet a Scout needs for when they move on to the Explorer Section​ there is a Six Month Flexibility either way between their 14th Birthday. 

• Explorers is a Melton District Provision and the Current Units are very welcoming and are open to all Scouts to attend.

• Currently there are 2 District Explorer Units in the Melton District.

• Find out what Explorers do

We are very welcoming to anyone to provide a volunteering Placement for participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Scheme doing this through either Scouting or School. 

Bronze Award 3 Months, Silver Award 6 Months, Gold Award 9 Months

All must be over 13 and a half Years Olds in to do their Volunteering placement within Scouting, with ideally their Volunteering placement with either the Beaver or Cub Sections due to the age difference.
