About Scouts
Aged 14 or over? Explorers is run by the district across the city.
Life at the 17th
Somewhere they're known
The same hall and the same faces every week, run by volunteers who know every young person by name. Over 60 young people come together at St George's to try new things, make friends and get outdoors as much as we can manage.
Every section spends nights away each year, from a sleepover in the hall to camping weekends with the whole Group. And the 17th is one of more than twenty Groups across the City of Newcastle District, so there are camps and days out with young people from the other side of the city too.
