Please book sessions through Online Scout Manager, so we know how many people to expect.
Investiture for new members:
We plan to invest more new members on Wednesday 4th December, our next uniform night (as usual on the first week of the month).
So it would be helpful if new members have bought their Explorer shirt by then, and parents are welcome to come in at 9pm if they would like to watch.
Southern 50 - 15th Feburary 2025
The annual Southern 50 is a prestigious challenge hike, one of the longest running events of its type in Scouting.
A navigation event in the Chiltern Hills, it has run every year since 1980 and is organised by Greater London North Scout County. There are three routes, 50mile and 50km open to all and a 30km route exclusively for Explorer Scouts. The event is a test of good orienteering skills, as well as physical ability and teamwork. Like any other long-distance challenge, the effort required to last the full course and receive a finishing certificate is an achievement. You can read more about the Southern 50 here: https://southern50.org/
Book now in Online Scout Manager for a practice hike on Saturday 25th January and the challenge Hike on Friday 14th to Sunday 16th February. Please confirm interest by 18th December as teams need to be booked early to avoid disappointment.

Young Leader and Duke of Edinburgh Award training
It has been great to see so many Explorers joining our Young Leader training on the 2nd Wednesday of every month
and Duke of Edinburgh's Award expedition training on the 4th Wednesday of every month.
You do not need to be a young leader or planning to do your DofE expedition with us to get something out of these training evenings.
However, reply to this email if you want to sign up to be a youth leader or do the Duke of Edinburgh's Award for the first time.
