Weekend Events coming up....

Saturday 11th April

We have 2 places left for Monopoly Run on Saturday 11th April 2026 - an action-packed Explorer team challenge, racing across London by foot and public transport to secret Monopoly-themed locations revealed only on the day. In teams of 4–7, you’ll have 9 hours to plan smart routes, earn points, grab bonuses, take great photos and compete for prizes.

Tuesday 10th March

Explorers Ready, Steady, Cook on Tuesday 10th March at 1st Lyonsdown Scout Hut in New Barnet - compete against other Explorer Units in a race against the clock with your team of up to 4 Explorers, to prepare a tasty meal using the ingredients provided (all vegetarian). You’ll have the clock ticking, your team working together and only your imagination to guide you.

Sunday 19th April

The annual Scouts Parade and Promise Renewal on Sunday 19th April 2026 - join us in Victoria Park for a parade to Stephens House, where we will renew our Promise. It’s a great opportunity to come together as a Scouting community and hope to see you there!

Reminder about our program..

A reminder that the format for the Evolution Explorer Scout Unit programme is:

1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month - Explorer sessions
2nd Wednesday of the month - Young Leader training
4th Wednesday of the month - Duke of Edinburgh's Award and Scouting Skills
5th Wednesday of the month - Special trips

We have specific mailing lists for the Young Leader training and DofE training, so let us know if you want to be added to one of both of them.

Explorer Uniform and Investiture

Remember that we wear our uniforms on the first Monday of every month

So if you have been coming for more than a few weeks and know that you will continue next term, now is a good time to buy the Explorer uniform that you can find here. The shirt is the only compulsory item, but there are other items if you want them, and we will give you a scarf.

When young people have their uniform, we will invest them at a memorable time and place of their choice.

Congratulations on the DofE Silver and Bronze teams successfully completing their assessed expeditions in the Peak District !

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.
