Explorers – 14 to 18 years

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.

There is wider scope for activities like offshore sailing, campaigning, performing, parascending, mountaineering and expeditions.

Every Explorer unit in Richmond District is named after a famous explorer.

As a joint Land and Sea Scout unit (Petersham & Ham Sea Scouts & Ham Scouts) we are named Erik Armstrong ESU after Erik the Red, a Norse explorer who was the first European to settle in Greenland, and Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon.
