Explorer Scouts are young people, usually aged between 14½ and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. There are many types of Explorer Scout Units, some may be linked to your local Scout Group, others may be based around different activities.

Not all Units meet each week, because you will often be out and about at weekends or in the holidays doing activities. There will be times when you will be busy doing other things such as exams, and being an Explorer Scout will have to fit around these.

As an Explorer Scout, in Knutsford you have a home Unit named Kite ESU who meet on Mondays and Wednesdays and you can attend any of the  meetings that week as they do similar programmes.  By doing this, you will get the chance to do many activities,  and be able to achieve the Chief Scout awards and Duke of Edinburgh awards to celebrate your development as an Explorer Scout
