Phoenix Explorers is the next step after Scouts, offering young people the chance to take their adventures even further. We’re all about challenge, friendship, and personal growth — whether that’s through outdoor expeditions, learning new skills, or simply enjoying time with like-minded people. As Explorers, you’ll have the freedom to shape your own programme, try things you’ve never done before, and push your limits in a safe, supportive environment.
Who Can Join & How
Phoenix Explorers is open to anyone aged 14 to 18 who’s ready for new challenges and adventures. You don’t need to have been a Scout before — if you’re enthusiastic, up for trying new things, and ready to get involved, you’ll fit right in.
What We Do
Being an Explorer is all about variety, adventure, and trying new things. At Phoenix Explorers, no two weeks are the same — one evening you might be learning a practical skill, and the next you could be out on the water or planning a weekend expedition.
Here’s a taste of what we get up to:
Adventure & Outdoors – camping, hiking, climbing, kayaking, and exploring new places.
Skill Building – first aid, navigation, survival skills, leadership training, and more.
Community Projects – giving back through volunteering and service.
Social Events – game nights, challenges, themed evenings, and opportunities to meet other Explorer Units.
Expeditions & Camps – from local adventures to national and even international trips.
Explorers have the freedom to shape their own programme, so if there’s something you’re passionate about, there’s a good chance we’ll make it happen
