YOUNG LEADERS – COLUMBUS UNIT (Explorer Scouts aged 14 to 18)
The Young Leaders’ Scheme is just one of the exciting programme elements in the Explorer Scout Section. All Leaders in the Beaver Scout, Cub Scout and Scout Sections who are between the ages of fourteen and eighteen must be members of a Young Leader Unit. They are Explorer Scouts who choose to devote a large proportion of their time in Scouting to provide service in another Section.
The Young Leaders’ Scheme helps Explorer Scouts to develop and grow as individuals. It allows them to make a valuable contribution to their community and give service to others. The Scheme also helps them fulfill the service elements of their Awards.
- Royal Kingston has a Young Leader Unit known as Columbus Unit. The Unit only meets once a month to provide training, ideas and general support for the young people in their work with the Beavers, Cubs or Scouts.
- Columbus Unit meets at Southwood Activity Centre, Elm Close, Surbiton on the second Monday of each month from 7.30pm to 9.30.pm
- Young Leaders are also welcome to join other Explorer Scout Units in the District if they wish.
- Like all Explorer Scouts Young Leaders are also encouraged to work towards the Queen’s Scout and Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
