Unlike Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, Explorers is not a section of the 17th Newcastle Scout Group. Instead, it is a District (city-wide) provision for young people aged 14 to 18 years of age.
Explorers are encouraged to lead themselves in deciding the programme and direction of the Unit, with support and guidance from leaders. The section also includes the Young Leaders' Scheme, where young people are able to take on a leadership role in one of the younger sections.
