Explorer Scouts are young men and women, usually aged between 14 and 18 years old. They make up the fourth Section of the Scouting family. As an Explorer Scout, you will get the chance to work with other Explorer Scouts in your District, not just your Unit. By doing this, you will get the chance to do many more actvities, not just those your Unit organises.
WHEN DO WE MEET?
Explorer Scouts meet every two weeks on Saturday afternoon at the the FNEL HQ 43 Rue de Hollerich between 14:00-17:00. See the Group Calendar for more details.

The meeeting this weekend starts at 1:30 and runs until 5:00 pm. it is essential that we plan routes, menus and complete route cards as this is our last meeting before the expeditions take place.
If you are doing Bronze Assessed Expedition, a map of the area in which you will need to plan your route can be found here. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and the document is available to download from the explorer section.
You can also find menu ideas for Bronze or Silver expeditions and a copy of the medical form at the same location.
What's the Scout Motto? Be Prepared!
Please take time to look at this info before the meeting and come with plenty of ideas for your route (Bronze Expedition) and what you would like to eat (all expeditions)!
Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday! If you are unable to come for any reason, please email Nicola directly.
Mérite Jeunesse Expedition to Beaufort and Echternach
22 Explorers spent the weekend of the 27th – 29th April completing their Bronze and Silver Award Practice Expeditions for the Mérite Jeunesse, hiking up to 50km over 3 days.
Despite beginning on Friday in the lashing rain, the Explorers approached their expedition with fantastic spirit and humour and were rewarded with sun all day on Saturday.
Camping overnight in Echternach, there was time for a campfire before completing the walk to Müllerthal on Sunday.
Here's a picture of two of the Bronze groups enjoying a well earned break at the Perekop – a superb effort all round on a fantastic weekend!
