Explorer Belt

Fancy an expedition to explore a foreign country as part of a small team of Explorers or Network members, and achieve one of the Top Awards in Scouting? If so, an Explorer Belt could be for you.

What is an Explorer Belt?

The Explorer Belt is a challenge of a lifetime.
It is a chance to take part in a ten-day expedition that brings you a real understanding of a different country, its culture and way of life.

You will develop this understanding by travelling through the chosen country, working as part of a small team to complete a series of projects and most importantly by meeting local people.

It is an experience and an achievement that you will remember for the rest of your life.

 


Membership

Be an Explorer Scout aged 16 or over, or a Scout Network member at the time of the expedition.

Cost

You and your team will prepare your own budget with support from your Explorer Belt Support Team. Be aware that the cost for Explorer Belts can be typically in the region of £1,000 but financial help could be available so speak to your support team.

Training

There will be a number of workshops and training days / weekends which you will be expected to attend. These are when you will undertake the preparation work for your Explorer Belt. Details of workshops will be announced by you support team.
