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 with the Melton District Young Leaders Unit

• 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 District Provision and the Current Units are open to all Scouts to attend.

• Currently there are 2 District Explorer Units in the Melton District, Based at Waltham or Old Dalby.

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.

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