The Young Leaders Scheme

Explorer Scout Young Leaders are those who volunteer alongside the adult leaders in a Squirrel Drey, Beaver Colony, Cub Pack or Scout Troop.

They're a valuable asset to any leadership team and play an active role in the section, bringing a range of fresh ideas to the table and acting as positive role models for the young people they work alongside.
