| Explorer Scouts is for
young people aged between 14 and 18 years of age. Olympian Explorer Scouts meet at
2nd Bracknell on a Wednesday night from 7pm to 9pm (unless
our programme has taken us somewhere else). Most of the
Olympians are registered to 2nd Bracknell, however Explorers
registered with other scout troops are welcome to join any of
our meetings.
The unit
is led by Steve Prower with help from Nicky Morgan.
The Chairman
of the unit exec is Jonathan Dye

London Wasps - St George's
Day game
London Wasps will be playing Bath at Twickenham on
Saturday 24 April. As this is their St George's Day fixture
they are making quite a fuss about it and have invited Cubs
and Scouts to go along and parade their flags at the stadium
before the match. They will also be raising money for "help
for heroes". If you are interested please let Baloo know.
More information is available on the
flyer and on the St
George's Day game website -

Badges
In addition to supporting the Explorers through the
Queens Scout Award and Young Leaders programmes we are happy
to assist them through the Duke of Edinburgh Award. The
national explorer website explains more about the badge
choices that are available. Chat to one of the leaders if
you would like to know more.

Fund raising the easy way
2nd Bracknell has joined the "buy.at" network which means
that we earn commission on things you buy online if you go
through our online shop at
http://buy.at/2ndbracknell. You'll find over 100
retailers there including M&S, Expedia, play.com, Amazon,
Game, Thorntons and Field & Trek. You pay the
normal online price which is generally less than on the High
Street so you can raise money for us and still save money.
Scout Shop
If you need uniform then the Scout Shop is the place to
go. The Scout Shop page
has more details and includes
a map showing how to get there.
Badge Requirements
We
don't publish the requirements for badges on our site. To
ensure that you are looking at the latest information follow
the link to Badges & Awards
and find the badge on Scoutbase.
Scoutbase is also the place to go to find out
where the badges go on your uniform.
There are other
Explorer Scout units within our District. For more information please contact our
District Commissioner - click on "Contact Us" for the e-mail
address.
